编译pycaffe错误 --#error This file was generated by a newer version of protoc

在编译py-faster-rcnn的pycaffe时出现以上错误：

原因： it is because of the wrong version of protobuf
首先你要卸载，并重装其要求的protobuf版本（2.6.1），之后重新编译就好了

卸载办法：

#remove
sudo apt-get remove libprotobuf-dev protobuf-compiler
sudo apt-get remove libprotobuf-lite8 libprotoc8
sudo apt-get remove python-protobuf
sudo pip uninstall protobuf
#如果安装了anaconda
conda uninstall protobuf

如果出现错误：

E:Encountered a section with no Package: header,

输入以下命令：

sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf
sudo apt-get update

重新安装

#reinstall
sudo apt-get install libprotobuf-dev protobuf-compiler
#if anaconda
conda install -c anaconda protobuf=2.6.1
或者
/home/username/anaconda2/bin/pip install protobuf == 2.6.1

附注：

查看当前protoc版本：protoc --version

查看protoc安装位置：which protoc

查找protoc相关文件：sudo find / -name protoc

手动安装protobuf 2.6.1方法：
