@eruffaldi Hi. It looks like your python path environment variable isn't properly set. You can check this by typing in $echo $PYTHONPATH. You should be able to see a file path similar to /opt/movidius/caffe/python. Also make sure you are using the same account as the one you used to install the SDK. Let me know if this fixes your problem. Thanks.

@Tome_at_Intel Already made sure the path in PYTHONPATH is included. Any other suggestions to fix this?

@braca v1.09.00 requires PYTHONPATH to include /opt/movidius/mvnc/python as well. Please add export PYTHONPATH=/opt/movidius/caffe/python:/opt/movidius/mvnc/python:$PYTHONPATH to /etc/bash.bashrc, run source /etc/bash.bashrc and try again.

 

I was getting a similar error on my system, the above change fixed my issue. Your issue might not be the same as mine, but it's worth a shot.

@AshwinVijayakumar Thanks a lot! Already tried and source with what you suggested and still same problem. This is what I did:

 

     

  1. Follow directions in https://developer.movidius.com/start until number 3.

    2.  

  2. Configure and source again the PYTHONPATH.

    3.  

  3. Get this error:

    4.

@braca the error messages in https://ncsforum.movidius.com/discussion/comment/758/#Comment_758 is basically because make examples wasn't able to compile GoogLeNet (and other downloaded networks) into a graph file. cp: cannot stat '../../caffe/GoogLeNet/graph': No such file or directory explains the situation.

 

mvNCCompile isn't running because of the Caffe Import Error problem. I haven't come across this problem except when it was a PYTHONPATH issue, so we'll have to take some blind shots here :smile: .

 

     

  • Did you by any chance have an existing Caffe, OpenCV or Python installation?

    •  

  • Are you aware of any access permission changes w.r.t /opt/movidius/caffe/python or /opt/movidius/mvnc/python?

    •  

  • @pashmina.bendale tried a workaround on the previous SDK installation, this could be a good resource to help debug your issue - https://ncsforum.movidius.com/discussion/comment/527/#Comment_527

    •  

  • Have you tried installing on a fresh Ubuntu OS?

@AshwinVijayakumar Thanks a lot! It's already working!!! I figured it was because I already have existing installations of caffe and opencv so it some how messes thing up. You might wanna add a comment somewhere to careful about it.

I'm experiencing the same problem. Pretty Fresh Ubuntu installation (maybe 2 weeks old), no prior caffe installation. Tried everything mentioned in this thread. @braca how did you eventually get this fixed?

 

I have to say I've been fighting these scripts all day… Considering there is only one platform to support it seems a bit buggy.

@Yakumo01 you are right. Even with a fresh installation of ubuntu got the same problem and still no idea how to fix it. It worked on my raspberry pi though, but I see errors with memory problems, alexnet is not loaded.

Ok I eventually figured this out, but really I've spent many hours installing this SDK, fighting numerous script bugs (what's with the weird combination of sudo and non sudo calls in install?). Short version is import caffe would always fail due to scikit being missing. I needed to run:

 

sudo pip3 install scikit-image

 

And then everything was golden.

@Yakumo01 Good that you fixed your problem. Tha main thing is to run installation only with "make install" on your user account without sudo. On some point install script may ask you for your password. Running installation as root fails and that was mentioned somewhere in thr forum.

 

I was thinking scikit-image package comes with 16.04 natively, not sure though.

I am also running into the "caffe import error" issue described by @braca above.

 

When I first ran "make examples" after the ncsdk install, I got an error:

 

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'mvnc'

 

I don't have a directory /opt/movidius/mvnc/python. After searching for mvnc, I found it in /opt/movidius/NCSDK/ncsdk-x86_64/api/python, so I added that directory to PYTHONPATH

 

That resolved the error above and next I got this error:

 

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'graphviz'

 

I proceeded to install graphviz and that error went away and now I get the "Caffe Import error".

 

I am running Ubuntu 16/04 and am running all the steps in a fresh conda environment. I have also installed scikt-image in this environment as suggested above.

 

I would appreciate any help in resolving this error.

 

Thanks,

Hi @georgievm_cms,

 

I have installed graphviz. I had originally installed it using pip3 and it is version 2.38.0 (confirmed by 'dot -V'). I also tried installing it via 'sudo apt-get install' and got the message that it was already installed.

 

So my error is exactly the one at the top of this thread:

 

Caffe Import Error

 

make[4]: Leaving directory '/home/luis/workspace/ncsdk/examples/caffe/GoogLeNet'

 

cp: cannot stat '../../caffe/GoogLeNet/graph': No such file or directory

 

Makefile:9: recipe for target 'googlenet' failed

 

make[3]: *** [googlenet] Error 1

 

make[3]: Leaving directory '/home/luis/workspace/ncsdk/examples/apps/multistick_cpp'

 

Makefile:12: recipe for target 'multistick_cpp/.' failed

 

make[2]: *** [multistick_cpp/.] Error 2

 

make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/luis/workspace/ncsdk/examples/apps'

 

Makefile:12: recipe for target 'apps/.' failed

 

make[1]: *** [apps/.] Error 2

 

make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/luis/workspace/ncsdk/examples'

 

Makefile:51: recipe for target 'examples' failed

 

make: *** [examples] Error 2

 

From what I am seeing there is a general pattern to the errors people are seeing with Ubuntu 16.04:

 

     

  • not finding mvnc (which is resolved by updating PYTHONPATH)

    •  

  • not finding graphviz (which is resolved by installing it)

     

    which leaves the "Caffe Import Error".

    •  

 

Any chance you can provide a docker image of a working install that we can run?

 

Thanks,

 

Ashutosh

I was looking in my install logs and even though it says "Setup is complete", there are errors in the "make install" step.

 

I made sure I have libtiff5, opencv and libboost-python installed, but that has not resolved these errors.

 

So I think this is the real issue:

The message

 

[ 75%] Linking CXX executable compute_image_mean

 

shows that Caffe is not compiling properly so it is normal that "Caffe Import" will not pass later.

 

Can you check please what's inside

 

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu directory

 

because this error origins from missing or dependency not meeting libboost_python.so

[ 75%] Linking CXX executable compute_image_mean

 

it's something wrong with caffe. try to build caffe by yourself. see the below links.

 

in my side, it's something wrong with opencv, I build and install opencv from source with -D BUILD_TIFF=ON

 

then it works fine
