Openpose: Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

[RatsLoveCats]

Cmake's configure and generate are complete, then sudo make -j nproc in the build directory will report the following error:（this is the CPU installation, not the GPU）

I think the problem is that hdf5 is missing, install hdf5 by using
sudo apt-get install hdf5

I am assuming that you are using debian based OS

HassanAlsamahi answer seems right.

@HassanAlsamahi Hi! I tried this command. But error appeared
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package hdf5
May I ask how to solve this.
I googled it but the solution doesn't work

[HassanAlsamahi]

@Edhonack what distribution are you using?

[lieyi]

maybe you can try
sudo apt-get install libhdf5-serial-dev hdf5-tools

[rajatbindal565]

maybe you can try
sudo apt-get install libhdf5-serial-dev hdf5-tools

maybe you can try
sudo apt-get install libhdf5-serial-dev hdf5-tools

Hey guys, I ran into the same problem, but since I'm installing Openpose into my Macbook, I can't use apt-get. I changed the apt-get to brew install but after:
brew install hdf5
I still get the same result and brew install libhdf5-serial-dev hdf5-tools ends up

Error: No available formula or cask with the name "libhdf5-serial-dev".
==> Searching for a previously deleted formula (in the last month)...
Error: No previously deleted formula found.
==> Searching for similarly named formulae...
Error: No similarly named formulae found.
==> Searching taps...
==> Searching taps on GitHub...
Error: No formulae found in taps

Can someone help me please? Thanks.

@Jerry-DanceClout I have found the solution. The issue is with the caffe that came with openpose. It's no good. You should install your own. In fact I found it in the documentation. Here's the link and here it is for quick reference:

Also as a side note, if the default installation fails (i.e., the one explained above), install Caffe separately and set BUILD_CAFFE to false in the CMake config. Steps:

Re-create the build folder: rm -rf build; mkdir build; cd build.
brew uninstall caffe to remove the version of Caffe previously installed via cmake.
brew install caffe to install Caffe separately.
Run cmake-gui and make the following adjustments to the cmake config:
BUILD_CAFFE set to false.
Caffe_INCLUDE_DIRS set to /usr/local/include/caffe.
Caffe_LIBS set to /usr/local/lib/libcaffe.dylib.
Run Configure and Generate from CMake GUI.
