pyimport("tensorflow") exception in Atom

[baggepinnen]

I'm using Atom for Julia developement. Unfortunately, I seem to have an issue using TensorFlow from within Atom. When using julia and tensorflow from the terminal everything is OK. using TensorFlow in Atom however throws an exception on the line pyimport("tensorflow") with the following text

PyError (:PyImport_ImportModule) <type 'exceptions.ImportError'>
ImportError('libcudart.so.7.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory',)

For TensorFlow to work in the regular terminal, I had to set my LD_LIBRARY_PATH such that TensorFlow could find the file libcudart.so.7.5. Any ideas on whether I have to somehow do this from Atom as well, or the problem lies elsewhere?

Yes, if you need LD_LIBRARY_PATH to be set from the terminal, you're also going to need it to be set in Atom. I think if you set LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the terminal and then launch Atom, Atom will inherit the environment variable, but I'm not sure.

I'll close this since it's not an issue in the scope of this package to resolve.
