but when I am running inference engine samples hello classification , I am getting error as Plugin MKLDNNPlugin cannot be loaded . I have set all the LD_LIBRARY_PATH as mentioned in the document.

Any help will be appreciated

I sort of made it to work, for atleast one example, I've written about it in the article below:

Hi Rishabh,

Are you able to run any Inference engine sample with this hack as I have also followed this while installing but it's not able to run samples, getting the same plugin load problem.

Hi Ashish,

I was only able to run the demo_squeezenet_download_convert_run program. For work related issues, had to reformat and use 16.04 LTS, so can't really comment on the other programs.

Currently OpenVINO 2018 R3 may be used by either Ubuntu 18.04 or Debian 9 (with some sort oh hacks in install scripts and cmake configs) except the samples which require opencv_videoio.so. If you use it from OpenVINO package, it depends on Ubutnu 16.04 specific video staff:

    libavcodec-ffmpeg.so.56
    libavformat-ffmpeg.so.56
    libavutil-ffmpeg.so.54
    libswscale-ffmpeg.so.3

So to compile samples the OpenCV (3.3 or 3.4) should be recompiled with Intel configuration.
