Caffe: Error run `python examples/ssd/ssd_pascal.py`

[kyuusaku]

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "examples/ssd/ssd_pascal.py", line 387, in
transform_param=train_transform_param, batch_sampler=batch_sampler)
File "/home/lab/devel/extern/ssd/caffe/python/caffe/model_libs.py", line 170, in CreateAnnotatedDataLayer
'include': dict(phase=caffe_pb2.Phase.Value('TRAIN')),
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'Phase'

Does anyone meet this error and how to solve it?

Make sure to include the correct PYTHONPATH

[kyuusaku]

@weiliu89 I added the PATH by export PYTHONPATH=/home/lab/devel/extern/ssd/caffe/python:$PYTHONPATH

[weiliu89]

Are you using Windows?

[kyuusaku]

@weiliu89 No, I am not. I use Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS .

This is my Makefile.config file. I did not meet any error when run make & make py & make test & make runtest.

I am not sure what is the reason. It looks like an protobuf issue. You can possibly search other sites (e.g. official caffe) to see if other people have similar issue. Please let me know if you find the reason and have a solution.

@weiliu89 Thanks for your help. The issue may be caused by the low version of the protobuf complier. The libprotoc 2.4.1 possibly does not support EnumDescriptor. When I used libprotoc 2.6.1 and ran the code on Ubuntu 14.04.5, it worked. :-)
