Intel MKL FATAL ERROR: Cannot load libmkl_avx2.so or libmkl_def.so

Question

I am running a python script and I get this error:

Intel MKL FATAL ERROR: Cannot load libmkl_avx2.so or libmkl_def.so.

Both files are present

Answer 1

All the solutions provided above did not work for me, but I found a good compromise:

for someone who has the same error and want's to keep Anaconda on his computer, and steel use mkl for (numpy and scipy) good process performance, the solution I propose:

Edit your .bashrc file.

Look for something like export PATH="/home/anaconda2/bin:$PATH" in the file.

Put a # at the beginning to comment it from the script: #export PATH="/home/anaconda2/bin:$PATH"

Open a new terminal and you should be running the base python installation.

It worked for me, hope it will be helpfull.
