Intel Caffe Compilation Error HDF5

[CPati2]

Hi All,

I am building Intel Caffe on my system, but I am getting following Could NOT find HDF5 error. I spent many hours figuring out work around this, but still no success. I didn't encounter such issue when I build Caffe for first time. Any suggestion will be helpful.

cmake -DCPU_ONLY=on -DBLAS=mkl -DUSE_MKL2017_AS_DEFAULT_ENGINE=o ..

Hi All,

I solved this issue. Since, I had to re-install CentOS, a specific package repo was required:

sudo yum install –y epel-release
sudo yum-config-manager --enable epel
sudo yum install hdf5-devel

Thanks.
