The problem seems about python version,I trid to use caffe with python3.5 ,but I don't konw why it shows //home/anaconda/lib... and I have

#  ANACONDA_HOME := $(HOME)/anaconda
#  PYTHON_INCLUDE := $(ANACONDA_HOME)/include \
#        $(ANACONDA_HOME)/include/python3.6m \
#        $(ANACONDA_HOME)/lib/python3.6/site-packages/numpy/core/include

This looks like a problem with linker being unable to find libpng library. Searching the internet yields for example this answer - have you tried anything like this?

I am closing this for now. If you need further assistance, please post to the caffe-users list instead. This helps developers maintain a clear, uncluttered, and efficient view of the state of Caffe. Please read the guidelines for contributing before submitting an issue or a pull request.

I have a same problem.  Can anyone help? I tried Noiredd solution but it didn't work

I solved my issue by remove zlib
sudo apt autoremove zlib1g-dev
Then I installed again without error

[hogwild]

I solved the same problem by adding the following into the Makefile.config:
LINKFLAGS := -Wl,-rpath,$(HOME)/anaconda3/lib

how to solve it ,thank you

[sunguanxiong]

I think it's something wrong with the ZLIB library. On Ubuntu 16.04, ZLIB's version is 1.2.8 by default.
So I download the source code of ZLIB, the verion is 1.2.11(1.2.9 is also okay).
Than I compile and install it on my machine with the following commands:
cd path/to/zlib
./configure
make
make install
Than I re-compiled caffe. It works~

[Omegastick]

@sunguanxiong You are a lifesaver

[zhangxiaoya]

From ZLIB download last version zlib and install.

[LongruiDong]

I solved the same problem by adding the following into the Makefile.config:

it works for me,thanks~

This works for me.

git clone https://github.com/madler/zlib
cd path/to/zlib
./configure
make
make install # you may add 'sudo'

good ,thank you

[NescobarAlopLop]

Had the same problem, removed the package from conda: conda remove libpng and installed sudo apt-get install libpng16-16
Worked for me

where are the makefile.config?
when I use "locate Makefile.config", it turns to:
