Caffe: libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.21' not found

[xonez]

Hi,
I am learning how to use caffe
I try to run the ipython notebook in the caffe/examples, but it comes to this error:
ImportError: /home/../anaconda2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/zmq/backend/cython/../../../../.././libstdc++.so.6: versionGLIBCXX_3.4.21' not found (required by ../python/caffe/_caffe.so)`

I am using virtual machine ubuntu 16.04 and the caffe is cpu only version.

Can some one help with me?^_^

Steps to reproduce

If you are having difficulty building Caffe or training a model, please ask the caffe-users mailing list. If you are reporting a build error that seems to be due to a bug in Caffe, please attach your build configuration (either Makefile.config or CMakeCache.txt) and the output of the make (or cmake) command.

Your system configuration

Operating system:
Compiler:
CUDA version (if applicable):
CUDNN version (if applicable):
BLAS:
Python or MATLAB version (for pycaffe and matcaffe respectively):

[farazfazli]

conda install libgcc

^ Should fix this error. Please ask installation questions only in the Caffe mailing list.

@farazfazli After searching on forums this worked f me too :+1: Thanks a lot :)

how about this:

import xgboost as xgb

File "/home/tteikhua/anaconda2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/xgboost/__init__.py", line 11, in
from .core import DMatrix, Booster
File "/home/tteikhua/anaconda2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/xgboost/core.py", line 112, in
_LIB = _load_lib()
File "/home/tteikhua/anaconda2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/xgboost/core.py", line 106, in _load_lib
lib = ctypes.cdll.LoadLibrary(lib_path[0])

return self._dlltype(name)

self._handle = _dlopen(self._name, mode)
OSError: /home/tteikhua/anaconda2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/scipy/sparse/../../../../libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.20' not found (required by /home/tteikhua/anaconda2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/xgboost/./lib/libxgboost.so)

I have the same problem:
ImportError: /home/katydagoth/anaconda2/bin/../lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.21' not found (required by /home/katydagoth/Downloads/caffe2/caffe-master/python/caffe/_caffe.so),
but it appears only when anaconda is activated. When deactivated it works well. libgcc is already installed. How can I fix this?

[yuanviola]

I have same problems when
import rtree
If anyone could help, I really appreciate it!

@monajalal check this link. It might solve the problem.

[Lucioric2000]

I fixed s similar problem reinstalling the affected program by PIP. (pip install -I ...). Conda broken dependencies are tiring me.

[senjed]

try:

conda install libgcc

Try running your code again. If it still does not work try finding the location of libstdc++.so.6. It is usually in /home/user/anaconda3/lib/ and set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/home/user/miniconda3/lib/

[chenrq2005]

conda install libgcc worked for me.

[brando90]

try:

conda install libgcc

Try running your code again. If it still does not work try finding the location of libstdc++.so.6. It is usually in /home/user/anaconda3/lib/ and set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/home/user/miniconda3/lib/

I did conda install libgcc and

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$HOME/miniconda3/lib/

and it worked.

Also make sure your not doing multiprocessing code. For me that gave me pickle errors.
