error: ‘kEmptyString’ is not a member of ‘google::protobuf::internal’

最近安装caffe，突然报这个错：

发现又是protoc的版本不对。

查了下：

sensetime@sensetime-To-be-filled-by-O-E-M:/home/zenggq/mainspace/mscnn$ which protoc
/usr/bin/protoc
sensetime@sensetime-To-be-filled-by-O-E-M:/home/zenggq/mainspace/mscnn$

sensetime@sensetime-To-be-filled-by-O-E-M:~/zenggq/caffe-bak$ pip show protobuf

protoc --version

发现是2.5.0

索性把anaconda2下的protoc文件覆盖/usr/bin/protoc。

搞定。
