For anyone who are troubled by the case 2, i.e. the corresponding binaries have been already put into the proper directory but still get the error of 'Not Found', you should rename the binaries as below:

1. cpu_nms.cpython-35m.so as cpu_nms.so
2. cython_bbox.cpython-35m.so as cython_bbox.so

this solution is found from others' discussion

Hi @TreeLLi,

First off, thanks for stoping by! :)
I must say I haven't tested it on Linux really.. I know there used to be some missing Cython modules in CNTK for Linux with Python version different from 3.4 but from what I know they added the modules to original CNTK repo few months ago.
From what I understand from your second comment you already found a solution for that issue.
And I think I know what caused it..
If you take a look at imports of this file in utils/nms:
from utils.cython_modules.cpu_nms import cpu_nms
This line works perfectly on Windows but it seems like it's causing some issues on Linux..

Thanks for your explanation.

The problem has been addressed perfectly. But I still think including the latest cython binaries in your directory will be a good idea, since it's not like a problem of missing some external library e.g. easydict. Besides, currently the solution is not such easy to find, for people have to combine the info from CNTK website and others' issue discussion.

So updating the cython module or pointing it out clearly in the Readme file will be super friendly to some beginners specifically for CNTK Faster-RCNN.

@TreeLLi that's very accurate! Thanks for feedback!
I will add missing cython libraries and I'll try to add some sort of if statement automatically loading up the appropriate cython libs depending on OS and Python version
