I'm building a new conda environment using python=3.9 for the
osx-arm64 architecture.
conda create -n py39 python=3.9 numpy
conda list
...
numpy 1.21.1 py39h1a24bff_2
...
python 3.9.7 hc70090a_1
So far so good: numpy=1.21.1 is the one i want. Now I want to add
scipy, and the first one seems to fit the bill:
conda search scipy --info
scipy 1.7.1 py39h2f0f56f_2

- libopenblas >=0.3.17,<1.0a0
- numpy >=1.19.5,<2.0a0
- python >=3.9,<3.10.0a0
in particular, python >=3.9 and numpy >=1.19 seems just right.
but when i try the install
conda install scipy
...
The following packages will be DOWNGRADED:
numpy 1.21.1-py39h1a24bff_2 --> 1.19.5-py39habd9f23_3
(I have bumped into various constraints with numpy=1.19 (numba,
pandas,) and am trying to avoid it.)
Why isn't the scipy package happy with the numpy=1.21 version I
have?!
The only possible clue is that conda reports a different python
version (3.8.11) than the v3.9 I specified for this environment:
conda info
active environment : py39
active env location : .../miniconda3/envs/py39
shell level : 1
user config file : .../.condarc
populated config files : .../.condarc
conda version : 4.11.0
conda-build version : not installed
python version : 3.8.11.final.0 <-------------------
virtual packages : __osx=12.1=0
...
but all the environment's pointers seem to be set correctly:
(py39) % which python
.../miniconda3/envs/py39/bin/python
(py39) % python

Thanks, any hints as to what's broken will be greatly appreciated!
I now have things working, but I'm afraid I can't point to a satisfying "answer." Others (eg #merv) seem to not be having the same problems and I can't identify the difference.
The one thing that I did find that seemed to create issues in my install was what seems to be some mislabeling of the pandas package: pandas v1.3.5 breaks a numpy==1.19.5 requirement that is the only way i've been able to push it thru. i posted a pandas issue comment
I know there is a duplicate question but it is from 2017.
I am trying to pip install matplotlib in my conda: pypy3 -mpip install matplotlib
This is the error I am getting - I had to truncate the log due to SO limitations.
My understanding is matplotlib can be installed on pypy. Is this correct? If not, is there a workaround for this?

I successfully build bazel and tensorflow from the source code, but when using the tensorflow module I am getting the following error:
./new_python/bin/python
>>>import tensorflow as tf
Error MSG: File "/home/niraj/Ansible/new_python/lib/python2.7/site-packages/tensorflow/python/pywrap_tensorflow.py", line 28, in <module> _pywrap_tensorflow = swig_import_helper()
ImportError: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by /home/niraj/Ansible/new_python/lib/python2.7/site-packages/tensorflow/python/_pywrap_tensorflow.so)
I am using RHEL6 machine. Any idea how to fix this ?
I found two bug reports on github regarding this very problem
https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/issues/110
https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/760
At least I get the impression that getting tensorflow to work on RHEL 6 is at least 'difficult' - as some claim in those two bugreports that they got it to work, with some limitations - if not, at least for now, impossible.
At least for Ubuntu 12.04 and CentOS 6.7 there are solutions. The 2nd answer (mentions CentOS) should work on RHEL 6 as well.
Old/First answer:
According to the link I gathered from this answer, RHEL 6 ships with libc 2.12, not 2.14.
You would have to compile the tensorflow stuff again and link it to an existing libc 2.14 on your system. I'm not quite sure how you were able to compile it without already having libc 2.14 somewhere on your system.
What made the trick for me was updating glibc (in my case to 2.17 version) by:
wget http://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/mosquito/myrepo-el6/epel-6-x86_64/glibc-2.17-55.fc20/glibc-2.17-55.el6.x86_64.rpm

I am unable to import matplotlib._png:
import matplotlib._png as _png ImportError:
/home/james/opt/python/virtualenvs/work/lib/python2.7/site-packages/matplotlib-1.3.x-py2.7-linux-x86_64.egg/matplotlib/_png.so:
undefined symbol: png_set_longjmp_fn
This error prevents me from running import pylab (sincce this ultimately imports matplotlib._png).
I installed matplotlib from source, and made sure to add the path with local installations (/home/james/local) to basedir in setupext.py before running python setup.py install.
REQUIRED DEPENDENCIES AND EXTENSIONS
numpy: yes [version 1.7.1]
dateutil: yes [using dateutil version 2.1]
tornado: yes [using tornado version 3.0.1]
pyparsing: yes [using pyparsing version 1.5.7]
pycxx: yes [Couldn't import. Using local copy.]
libagg: yes [pkg-config information for 'libagg' could not
be found Using local copy.]
freetype: yes [version 16.0.10]
png: yes [version 1.2.10]
My research so far:
As can be seen above, matplotlib seems to find version 1.2.10 even though the version that I have under /home/james/local is 1.6.2:
$ find . -iname '*libpng*'
./libpng16.so.16.1.0
./libpng16.so
./libpng16.so.16
./libpng16.a
./libpng.a
./libpng.so
./libpng16.la
./pkgconfig/libpng.pc
./pkgconfig/libpng16.pc
./libpng.la
More specifically, I modified the following line in setupext.py with:
return basedir_map.get(sys.platform, ['/home/james/local', '/usr/local', '/usr'])
but matplotlib seems to have found the system version:
$ locate libpng
/usr/lib/libpng.so
/usr/lib/libpng.so.3
/usr/lib/libpng.so.3.10.0
/usr/lib/libpng12.a
/usr/lib/libpng12.so
/usr/lib/libpng12.so.0
/usr/lib/libpng12.so.0.10.0
Could this be the problem? Why am I unable to import matplotlib._png?
Update:
Looking at setupext.py, it looks like python setup install queries pkg-config through the SetupPackage method _check_for_pkg_config to determine the version of libpng I have installed. It turns out that pkg-config is returning the system installation:
$ pkg-config --libs libpng
-lpng12
even though I have updated basedir in matplotlib's setupext.py, and LD_LIBRARY_PATH to make them point to the the more recent version of libpng that I have locally installed.
Any ideas on how to have pkg-config return the right version?
It's a pkg-config issue; matplotlib's installation is (unfortunately, or perhaps not) relying too much on pkg-config's output.
Assuming you have build libpng the normal way, there should be a pkgconfig subdirectory in your /home/james/local/lib, which contains libpng.pc (and libpng16.pc). When setupext.py runs pkg-config, the latter should of course try and pick up the correct .pc file for libpng. For that, use the PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable and point it to the pkgconfig subdirectory:
$ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/home/james/local/lib/pkgconfig
Then, install matplotlib again, and see that it now finds the correct libpng version:
$ python setup.py build
basedirlist is: ['/usr/local', '/usr']
============================================================================
BUILDING MATPLOTLIB
matplotlib: 1.1.0
python: 2.7.4 (default, Apr 8 2013, 16:36:47) [GCC 4.4.5]
platform: linux2
REQUIRED DEPENDENCIES
numpy: 1.7.0
freetype2: 12.0.6
OPTIONAL BACKEND DEPENDENCIES
libpng: 1.6.1
Tkinter: Tkinter: 81008, Tk: 8.4, Tcl: 8.4
(For me, with a different PKG_CONFIG_PATH of course. Yes, I may want to upgrade some dependencies.)
Note that I didn't even alter basedirlist; it's just at its default.
In case pkg-config fails to now pick up some other package, just add more directories to PKG_CONFIG_PATH with colons in between. But I guess this should be enough.
Try
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/james/local/lib
and then execute Matplotlib... that would point matplotlib to your local version.
