I'm trying to install pycaffe, but am failing the command make pycaffe with the error:
ld: library not found for -lboost_python
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
make: *** [python/caffe/_caffe.so] Error 1
I installed boost-python with the command brew install --build-from-source -vd boost boost-python. In my /usr/local/Cellar/boost-python folder, I have v1.67 with files libboost_python27.dylib and libboost_python27-mt.dylib, as well as their respective .a files.
Since caffe is looking for lboost_python and not libboost_python, should I just simlink one to the other? How would I go about this?
If you are using python3
brew install boost --with-python3
brew install boost-python
Confirm boost and boost-python is installed
brew list | grep 'boost'
Then create symlink
Example : sudo ln -s libboost_python37.dylib libboost_python3.dylib
This should solve your issue
