Issue Summary

I getting this msg always when trying to install openpose! I'm sure I got all the prerequisites and installed them on the right version! I also try FAQ, but not successful!

I've done so far..

1. Installed prerequisites and CMAKE
2. Through CMAKE-GUI I configurate and generate MakeFile
3. Breaks on the last part of tutorial - when typed make -jnproc

Executed Command (if any)

make -jnproc

OpenPose Output (if any)

CMake Error: The following variables are used in this project, but they are set to NOTFOUND.
Please set them or make sure they are set and tested correctly in the CMake files:
CUDA_cublas_LIBRARY (ADVANCED)
linked by target "caffe" in directory /data/openpose/3rdparty/caffe/src/caffe
CUDA_curand_LIBRARY (ADVANCED)

I met the same error. I tried sudo apt-get install hdf5-tools, but failed again.

I solved this problem by reinstalling cmake. Ubuntu 18
Ubuntu 18: Download and compile CMake-gui from source. The default CMake-gui version (3.10) installed via sudo apt-get install cmake-qt-gui provokes some compiling errors. Required CMake version >= 3.12.
Uninstall your current Cmake-gui version by running sudo apt purge cmake-qt-gui.
Run sudo apt-get install qtbase5-dev.
Download the Latest Release of CMake Unix/Linux Source from the CMake download website, called cmake-X.X.X.tar.gz.
Unzip it and go inside that folder from the terminal.
Run ./configure --qt-gui. Make sure no error occurred.
Run ./bootstrap && make -j8 && make install -j8. Make sure no error occurred.
Assuming your CMake downloaded folder is in {CMAKE_FOLDER_PATH}, everytime these instructions mentions cmake-gui, you will have to replace that line by {CMAKE_FOLDER_PATH}/bin/cmake-gui.

I am using cmake version 3.16.0-rc3, still, I am also facing the same error. What can I do? Thanks.

I think there is a compatibility issue of CUDA_cublas_LIBRARY in CUDA 10.1. I solved this problem by downgrading CUDA from 10.0 to 10.1

[quan-nguyen-7121996]

I have the same problem with cuda 9.0 and cmake 3.13.0. Please help me.

Do you mean from 10.1 to 10.0?
