ImportError: libstdc++.so.6: version `CXXABI_1.3.9' not found

Using PyCall on Julia 1.2 I get the following error on a Linux OS when calling pyimport("scipy.sparse")

<class 'ImportError'>
ImportError("/usr/bin/../lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `CXXABI_1.3.9' not found (required by /home/matros/miniconda3/envs/contfi2/lib/python3.7/site-packages/scipy/sparse/_sparsetools.cpython-37m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so)")

    from ._sparsetools import (csr_tocsc, csr_tobsr, csr_count_blocks,

the PYTHON variable is correctly set to a conda environment where I can import the module scipy.sparse without any problem. I tried using export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/miniconda3/envs/contfi2/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH before calling Julia to no avail.

I worked around the issue by using

export LD_PRELOAD=$HOME/.julia/conda/3/lib/libstdc++.so

before running Julia.

I have the same issue with manually built PyTorch (with ROCm) on Fedora32.

    from torch._C import *

The LD_PRELOAD method above works when I load my system's /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.
