ImportError: libmkl_intel_lp64.so: cannot open shared object file

I have the following error when import torch in iPython. But I can still run the program using terminal. Any thoughts about this error? Thanks!

Did you compile it from source or is it a binary install?

I got the problem. It was a mistake. I recently uninstalled conda 2 and installed conda 3, but haven't reinstalled IPython. Now it is working fine. Thanks for the help!

hey, even I am facing the same issue.
from torch._C import * ImportError: libmkl_intel_lp64.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I compiled it from source. Can anyone suggest as to where I am going wrong?

Try a clean re-install.

rm -rf build
rm -rf torch/lib/build

Then install again
