error installing caffe

I am trying to install caffe on my mac. I have installed boost but I get this error:

make pycaffe -j8
LD -o .build_release/lib/libcaffe.so
clang: warning: argument unused during compilation: '-pthread'
ld: library not found for -lboost_thread-mt
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
make: *** [.build_release/lib/libcaffe.so] Error 1

If you're using anaconda, you can also provide the boost dependency using the conda-forge anaconda channel:

$ conda install -c conda-forge boost

And create the symlinks, as @Marqin said, if they're not available.

The conda-forge boost might soon include the -mt libraries. I opened an issue for it on their github repo.

You have probably installed boost without boost-thread, or have old installer that installed boost_thread-mt as boost_thread. If it's the second then you can just make symbolic link from libboost_thread.a to libboost_thread-mt.a.

If it's the first cause, then you have to reinstall brew with boost-thread, and the easiest way will be to get Homebrew and install boost with it:

brew install boost

Which installs proper libs:

-> % ls  /usr/local/lib/libboost_thread-mt.* 
/usr/local/lib/libboost_thread-mt.a     /usr/local/lib/libboost_thread-mt.dylib
