I'm trying to install (py)caffe on ubuntu 17.10
However when I do make all I get the following error:
./include/caffe/common.hpp(84): error: namespace "std" has no member "isnan"
./include/caffe/common.hpp(85): error: namespace "std" has no member "isinf"
2 errors detected in the compilation of "/tmp/tmpxft_00004921_00000000-19_nesterov_solver.compute_61.cpp1.ii".
Makefile:594: recipe for target '.build_release/cuda/src/caffe/solvers/nesterov_solver.o' failed
or when I use cmake instead
/home/thijser/caffe/include/caffe/common.hpp(84): error: namespace "std" has no member "isnan"
/home/thijser/caffe/include/caffe/common.hpp(85): error: namespace "std" has no member "isinf"
2 errors detected in the compilation of "/tmp/tmpxft_00004e32_00000000-7_math_functions.cpp1.ii".
CMake Error at cuda_compile_1_generated_math_functions.cu.o.Release.cmake:282 (message):
Error generating file
/home/thijser/caffe/build/src/caffe/CMakeFiles/cuda_compile_1.dir/util/./cuda_compile_1_generated_math_functions.cu.o
Note that I'm not just going for sudo apt-get install caffe as doing so does not also install pycaffe, any solution that also installs pycaffe is also valid. I understand that isnan in std likely comes via boost or that this somehow involves a discrepancy between c++ versions? I'm not much of a c++ expert so I'm not sure how that works, I use gcc4.9 for this as nvcc doesn't like later versions of gcc. I know that caffe works on other people's machines and on a older version of ubuntu I had installed so that suggests it's all a configuration issue.
Anybody know how to fix this?
edit using verbose mode on cmake I was able to find out that it doing the following as it happened
/usr/bin/cmake -E remove /home/thijser/caffe/build/src/caffe/CMakeFiles/cuda_compile_1.dir/util/cuda_compile_1_generated_math_functions.cu.o.depend.tmp /home/thijser/caffe/build/src/caffe/CMakeFiles/cuda_compile_1.dir/util/cuda_compile_1_generated_math_functions.cu.o.NVCC-depend

testing against the following code: https://ideone.com/Yxvt5m
$ gcc -std=c++11 test.cpp which is the same as g++ test.cpp gave me
test.cpp: In function ‘int main()’:
test.cpp:7:15: error: ‘__builtin_isnan’ is not a member of ‘std’
cout << std::isnan(42.0) << std::isinf(42.0);
^
test.cpp:7:15: note: suggested alternative:
<built-in>: note: ‘__builtin_isnan’
test.cpp:7:35: error: ‘__builtin_isinf_sign’ is not a member of ‘std’
cout << std::isnan(42.0) << std::isinf(42.0);
^
test.cpp:7:35: note: suggested alternative:
<built-in>: note: ‘__builtin_isinf_sign’
suggesting an configuration issue on my machine, however clang++ test.cpp did not give any error suggesting that maybe we could use that to install caffe?

Edit: thanks to @EliahKagan 's suggestions in the askubuntu chat I found that adding in the line CXXFLAGS += g++ -D_GLIBCXX_USE_C99_MATH -std=c++11 to the makefile solves this issue, however it inimitably throws the next error of
