I don't know how to solve this issue. Please help me.

[AdamStelmaszczyk]

Got the same error (altough for main tensorflow not serving) when running even the simplest bazel build //tensorflow/tools/pip_package:build_pip_package:

ERROR: error loading package 'tensorflow/tools/pip_package': Extension file not found. Unable to load package for '//third_party/mkl:build_defs.bzl': BUILD file not found on package path.

I remember I removed tensorflow/third-party/mkl/ directory, because I had circular symlink detected when running bazel. After looking with ls -la on mkl dir it looked that libdl.so.2 was the culprit, it was a symbolic link... to itself (don't know why). So I removed it, but had some more issues I don't remember, but ended up removing the whole mdl dir (hoped that ./configure will download it for me again). So I run ./configure, it fails, because it assumes that dir mkl exsits. So, I created that dir manually and run ./configure again. Then, some files were downloaded to mkl dir, however the OP error appeared. I think it's simply because there was no build_defs.bzl file in mkl dir.

So I just removed whole tensorflow dir, git cloned it again, run ./configure and then everything worked fine.

Hope this helps.

Thanks. Finally I solved this issue. I think I don't clone all the submodules.

git submodule update --recursive

And execute ./configure again.

But when I execute bazel build tensorflow_serving/..., it raised another error:

$ bazel build tensorflow_serving/...

The configure script is not working?

[abcfy2]

After execute:

cd serving/
cp tensorflow/.bazelrc tensorflow/.tf_configure.bazelrc .

It works.
