Issues with compiling caffe with python, undefined reference to `std::__cxx11::....'

Question

I used to compile successfully caffe with WITH_PYTHON_LAYER:=1 on Ubuntu 14.04. Then I switched to Ubuntu 16.04, using the same settings but different built-in software such as g++ 5.4 for 16.04 instead of g++ 4.8 for 14.04, I failed to compile caffe with python. Would you please give me some advice on this issue? The following is part of the error message I got

Looks like you're not linking with the standard library. What is the build system for the library? — pat

I am not sure what build system it is. would you please specify what information I need to provide for you? — Jake Ren

How do you build it? Do you type "./configure" then "make", or do you have to say like "cmake .." first or something? — pat

Just follow the instruction from the Official Caffe Installation Instructions. I did not run ./configure. First, I edited the Makefile.config, which is used to choose options you want and config the path for lib and include_files. Second, I run make -j8 to compile the project — Jake Ren

Copy the whole g++ command line that is failing into your question — pat

Following the official installation instruction with cmake solves this problem.

Steps to solution:
1. in your CAFFE/ directory run make clean
2. the follow in instruction of compile_caffe_with_cmake.
