Luke, nm as I thought this was a repository issue. Will inform LA about it for his centos 7 image.

just fyi other readers i used this repository to fix my python-pip issue:

Found a couple of errors when I installed this. With some minor intermediate edits installation does go okay. here are the errors i get...

1. incorrect declarations:
   [ 31%] Building CXX object src/caffe/CMakeFiles/caffe.dir/layers/euclidean_loss_layer.cpp.o

2. Fails for existing directories during clone process:

The procedure cannot do the cloning if /root/caffe and /root/digits already exist. My hack was to remove those directories before the cloning steps. But i need to comment out the cloning in order to do the hacks to fix the step 1 above....

darn i lost my hacks. for sure the declaration issues are in these files:
find /root/caffe -type f -exec grep -l UINT8_MAX {} ; | & tee found_unit.log
/root/caffe/include/caffe/layers/detectnet_transform_layer.hpp
/root/caffe/src/caffe/layers/detectnet_transform_layer.cpp
/root/caffe/src/caffe/layers/detectnet_transform_layer.cu

I'll try to redo them.... if you can get it before i do please let me know.

thanks
Elliot

Luke, here are my proposed changes to the Centos 7 installation. Please be so kind as to review and advise. If you agree, I would like to see these fixes or whatever you think is better into the mainstream code.

still trying to figure out how the pull request mechanism works, so here is the link in the meantime:

Thanks,
Elliot
