Openpose: Could NOT find vecLib (missing: vecLib_INCLUDE_DIR)

[vpview]

Type of Issue

Compilation/installation error

I am following the installation guide that is on github docs. Everything works until the build step. When i run the make -j nproc command, I get the error below, and I do not know how to solve it.

My System Configuration

1. Whole console output: https://pastebin.com/Uh8FG0Hh
   It is written in the link above, but briefly here is the error:

CMake Error at /Applications/CMake.app/Contents/share/cmake-3.14/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:137 (message):
  Could NOT find vecLib (missing: vecLib_INCLUDE_DIR)

  cmake/Modules/FindvecLib.cmake:24 (find_package_handle_standard_args)
  cmake/Dependencies.cmake:135 (find_package)
  CMakeLists.txt:49 (include)

1. OpenPose version: Latest GitHub code (cloned today 5 Jun 2019)

2. General configuration:

   • Installation mode: CMake
   • Operating system macOS Mojave 10.14.14

3. 3rd-party software:

   • Caffe version: Default from OpenPose
   • CMake version cmake version 3.14.5

Did you git apply the patch

[vpview]

No, how would I do that? Could you please give some details. Thank you so much.

[soulslicer]

Please check the mac installation instructions.

[vpview]

That worked. Now I just need it to work faster. Thank you for your help!

I think the patch link is here: https://github.com/CMU-Perceptual-Computing-Lab/openpose/blob/master/doc/installation.md#mac-osx-version

I have run into this same issue on macOS Catalina 10.15.3 but if I attempt to apply the patch from the link provided by @hackerfemo I get the following output.

_error: patch failed: cmake/Modules/FindvecLib.cmake:12
error: cmake/Modules/FindvecLib.cmake: patch does not apply
error: src/caffe/layers/malis_loss_layer.cpp: No such file or directory_

Any ideas?

I had the same problem! Did you solve the issue? I did the file search to find veclib.h on my mac and manually inserted my path. Go to build/caffe/src/openpose_lib-build/CMakeCache.txt and manually change this:
vecLib_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH=vecLib_INCLUDE_DIR-NOTFOUND to

vecLib_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH=/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/Accelerate.framework/Versions/Current/Frameworks/vecLib.framework/Headers/

@tmedeirosClostra I'm having the same issue as you - on macOS Catalina 10.15.4. This is after following @appleweed's instructions here : https://github.com/CMU-Perceptual-Computing-Lab/openpose/issues/423. Let me know if you find a fix!

[soulslicer]

Oh man..dont tell me OSX broke Caffe again :(

[rafayk7]

@seojpark91 That didn't seem to work for me - did you do anything else to solve it?

[seojpark91]

@rafayk7 Apply patch also did not work for me with the same error that @tmedeirosClostra had. Were you able to locate your vecLib.h file and put that path CMakeCache.txt?? After it found vecLib path, I was able to build it successfully.

[soulslicer]

@seojpark91 can i know how you fixed it? You can post your changelog/diff

[seojpark91]

@soulslicer Hi, as I mentioned it above, I just changed this part : vecLib_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH=vecLib_INCLUDE_DIR-NOTFOUND in this text file: openpose/build/caffe/src/openpose_lib-build/CMakeCache.txt

I just manually changed above part to vecLib_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH=/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/Accelerate.framework/Versions/Current/Frameworks/vecLib.framework/Headers/

Then, it found vecLib and worked. Just try to find whether your vecLib.h is also in the above path. I have Mojave 10.14.5, so yours might be different.

I had the same problem and I fixed it with @seojpark91 solution, thanks a lot !
I'm on Mojave 10.14.6

[StephDocTUM]

Great same worked for me as well with Catalina!

[sam8401]

Thanks worked for me too. But I believe an ideal "solution" will be to install your own Caffe as stated here
