How can I get rid of this error?
I used anaconda2 for installation:

pip install --user https://cntk.ai/PythonWheel/GPU/cntk-2.4-cp27-cp27mu-linux_x86_64.whl

installation was successful. However, accessing cntk is the problem.
Thanks

I updated the libgcc using conda install libgcc, update LD_LIBRARY_PATH as well. Tried every solution that I could find on web.

please build GCC from source with the current compiler on your Linux machine, and set the path to the newly built libstdc++.so.6 in your $PATH

I changed the GCC from 4.8 to GCC 7.XX and it worked.

Thanks,

I updated the libgcc using conda install libgcc, update LD_LIBRARY_PATH as well. Tried every solution that I could find on web.

I solved in this way:

I installed conda install libgcc library in my conda virtual environment and then
changed the $LD_LIRABRY_PATH by appending the path to the lib folder of the environment:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:~/anaconda3/envs/<NAME>/lib

Additionally, I also needed to symlink the libfabric.so.1 file:

ln -sf ~/anaconda3/envs/<NAME>/lib/libfabric/libfabric.so.1 ~/anaconda3/envs/<NAME>/lib
