I built Tensorflow from the latest 1.5.0rc0 release.

tensorflow (1.5.0rc0)
tensorflow-tensorboard (0.1.8)

This is due to a mismatch in the version of tensorboard installed versus the version of tensorflow; run_main is not present until tensorflow-tensorboard >= 0.4.0rc1. The actual 1.5.0 tensorflow release should have a corrected version specifier that updates tensorboard appropriately on install.

For now, doing a manual pip install -U tensorflow-tensorboard==0.4.0rc3 should resolve this problem. You can also do pip install tb-nightly as recommended above.

A workaround that worked for me - running tensorboard directly, i.e

python3 /usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/tensorboard/main.py --logdir=/tmp/

Maybe helpful for someone else.
