Caffe install on ubuntu for anaconda with python 2.7 fails with libpng16.so.16 not found

Question

So I have installed anaconda with python 2.7 and installed all of the requirements for Caffe library. I ensured that opencv is installed by

import cv2
         


        

Answer 1

I ran into the same problem and I fixed it by adding an -rpath in my Makefile.config :

LINKFLAGS := -Wl,-rpath,$(HOME)/anaconda/lib

I think this is the correct fix because it (-rpath) tells GCC where it can find libraries (libjpeg, libpng) that other libraries (in this case opencv) depend on.
