protobuff version error

When I run example/example.py, I am getting the following error.

[libprotobuf FATAL google/protobuf/stubs/common.cc:61] This program requires version 3.6.1 of the Protocol Buffer runtime library, but the installed version is 2.6.1. Please update your library.

We have updated the requirements. The protocol buffer version should be automatically handled while installing the tensorflow now.
