Posting rules

1. Duplicated posts will not be answered. Check the FAQ section, other GitHub issues, and general documentation before posting. E.g., low-speed, out-of-memory, output format, 0-people detected, installation issues, ...).
2. Fill the Your System Configuration section (all of it or it will not be answered!) if you are facing an error or unexpected behavior. Feature requests or some other type of posts might not require it.
3. No questions about training or 3rd party libraries:
   • OpenPose only implements testing.
   • Caffe errors/issues, check Caffe documentation.
   • CUDA check failed errors: They are usually fixed by re-installing CUDA, then re-installing the proper cuDNN version, and then re-compiling (or re-installing) OpenPose. Otherwise, check for help in CUDA forums.
   • OpenCV errors: Install the default/pre-compiled OpenCV or check for online help.
4. Set a proper issue title: add the Ubuntu/Windows keyword and be specific (e.g., do not call it: Error).
5. Only English comments.
   Posts which do not follow these rules will be ignored, closed, or reported with no further clarification.

I think the issue is a common one, as far as I could tell from online searches, its when the cpp allocs from one allocation library and then free's the memory from another. Since v1.7 was released 2 days ago I think this issue might have gone unnoticed. The library works, and on another laptop with the same build etc [different hardware], the OP Wrapper gave the datapoints to the python code before crashing, so am fairly certain that its not the build process or the python bindings that has caused this issue.

This issue pertains to the build cycle. The provided patch for macOS isn't a good fix. Will put up a pull request with the proper installation instructions. The issue lies in a dependency of caffe, called leveldb
