Can't import because of GLIBC requirements

[hypercompetent]

Hi nptsne team,

I'm having some trouble getting nptsne to import (see below for error).

This seems to be due to a requirement for a high version of GLIBC (2.29), which isn't directly available through apt-get for my system (the max version available currently is 2.24).

If there's any way I might be able to work around this, that would be great, as manually updating GLIBC is difficult in my computing environment.

Thanks!

Sorry for the delay. There's a new version of nptsne - 1.1.0 available on PyPI. It has been built as a manylinux wheel which should solve any lib problems. Let me know if the issue is still there. New documentation is at Read the Docs

Hi Baldur,

Thanks for this update - this does indeed solve this issue.

I'm really enjoying working with the new HSNE functions!

Cheers,
