Error in Caffe Installation in Ubuntu 16.04

Question

While compiling Caffe in Ubuntu 16.04, I got the following error:

LD -o .build_release/lib/libcaffe.so.1.0.0-rc3  
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lhdf5_hl  
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lhdf5  
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status  
Makefile:563: recipe for target '.build_release/lib/libcaffe.so.1.0.0-rc3' failed  
make: *** [.build_release/lib/libcaffe.so.1.0.0-rc3] Error 1

Please suggest a way to successfully install caffe by removing this error?

Did you install the indicated General dependencies, in particular libhdf5-serial-dev? — steeldriver, Jun 12 '16 at 13:22
It may be essentially the same issue as here i.e. that Ubuntu's packaging has moved the hdf5 serial header files and libraries into subdirectories. Try adding an explicit link flag to your configuration e.g. ./configure LDFLAGS=-L/usr/lib/$(dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)/hdf5/serial — steeldriver, Jun 12 '16 at 14:58

This worked for me, in 'Makefile.config' change line 94 and 95 to

LINE 94: INCLUDE_DIRS := $(PYTHON_INCLUDE) /usr/local/include /usr/include/hdf5/serial

LINE 95: LIBRARY_DIRS := $(PYTHON_LIB) /usr/local/lib /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/hdf5/serial
