I am trying to install caffe in unbuntu 16.04, but run into above issue while using 'make all'

quick solution is to locate your hdf5 file directory and append the directory in the INCLUDE DIRS
Find Some Solutions by alfakini.

In your Makefile.config try to append /usr/include/hdf5/serial/ to INCLUDE_DIRS:

--- INCLUDE_DIRS := $(PYTHON_INCLUDE) /usr/local/include
+++ INCLUDE_DIRS := $(PYTHON_INCLUDE) /usr/local/include /usr/include/hdf5/serial/

and rename hdf5_hl and hdf5 to hdf5_serial_hl and hdf5_serial in the Makefile:

--- LIBRARIES += glog gflags protobuf boost_system boost_filesystem m hdf5_hl hdf5
+++ LIBRARIES += glog gflags protobuf boost_system boost_filesystem m hdf5_serial_h

include this...

INCLUDE_DIRS := $(PYTHON_INCLUDE) /usr/local/include /usr/include/hdf5/serial
LIBRARY_DIRS := $(PYTHON_LIB) /usr/local/lib /usr/lib /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/hdf5/serial
