google.protobuf.message.DecodeError: Error parsing message

Question

I am doing the tutorial on https://www.tensorflow.org/versions/master/tutorials/image_recognition/index.html

and working on the Python API section, I launched python classify_image.py

Here I am getting the error message out like so:

A protocol message was rejected because it was too big (more than 67108864 bytes). To increase the limit (or to disable these warnings), see CodedInputStream::SetTotalBytesLimit() in google/protobuf/io/coded_stream.h.

So, I tried to access the file coded_stream.h, but I cannot get to it as the directory tree is getting me to google/protobuf and no further. There is no io directory. Any hints on what I should do now?

thanks Peter

You need to install the custom protobuf pip package as detailed here: https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/master/tensorflow/g3doc/get_started/os_setup.md#protobuf-library-related-issues
