DIGITS / CAFFE_ROOT problem

Hi,

I have installed DIGITS on Ubuntu 16.04 regarding the NVIDIA/DIGITS. When I run

./digits-devserver

output becomes:

"/home/deep/caffe" from CAFFE_ROOT does not point to a valid installation of Caffe.
Use the envvar CAFFE_ROOT to indicate a valid installation.

For a long time, I am trying to solve problems by googling but could not find any solution. I just want to use DIGITS anymore. I hope this is my last problem and will solve with your helps.

Thanks in advance, Ender.

How did you install DIGITS?

What version of numpy do you have on your system:

% python -c ‘import numpy as np; print(np.version)’

Did you try to upgrade your numpy?

% pip install numpy --upgrade

I reinstalled ubuntu system since my system was messed up. In addition, I had two different numpy and
also upgraded numpy but never worked. I am probably installing wrong prerequisites for DIGITS and I do not know if they are the correct versions. For example, I installed CUDA 9.1, cuDNN7.1 and so on. This time I am thinking of installing old versions. For example, CUDA 8, cudnn 5.1 and etc. Do you think it is the right decision?

This looks like an issue on protobuf version mismatch. You might have built caffe with a version of protobuf, but when you ran DIGITS with caffe, caffe loaded another protobuf lib.

Thank you for the reply. I solved the problem by reinstalling all packages such as; Cuda-9.0, cuDNN 7.0, cafe 0.15 and tensorflow 1.17. After reinstalling, I learned that installing wrong version of packages caused this problem since DIGITS 6.1.1 works with these reinstalled packages.
