Import Error: version `CXXABI_1.3.9' not found

[diegoquintanav]

Hi. I've just forked the repo and tried to run the first code, nsfg.py. I get an error regarding something with matplotlib.

My intuition tells me that this may have alreade a solution, but I have found none. The full trace of the error is the following

diego@ubuntu:~/Documents/dev/ThinkStats2/code$ python nsfg.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):

If it means something, I'm using matplotlib (2.0.2) Python 3.5.4 :: Anaconda, Inc. conda 4.3.30 gcc (GCC) 4.8.5

No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS Release: 16.04 Codename: xenial

Thanks

I managed to find a solution. It seems that a newer version of gcc is required, in particular one that contains CXXABI_1.3.9

After some reading, there are two possible solutions:

1. One for the people without anaconda, which is somehow explained here.

2. In my case I use Anaconda, and the problem is solved with conda install libgcc, which upgrades the current gcc compiler.

More info about this can be found here

I am surprised that that was necessary, but I am glad you resolved the problem.

I am facing the same issue but conda install libgcc didn't work for me.

[AllenDowney]

It looks like the line that's failing is

    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

Which means that there is something wrong with your installation of matplotlib.

Try starting Python and running just that line:

$ python
>>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

If it fails there, then nsfg.py is not the problem.

I solve this problem by pip uninstalling/reinstalling scipy

[Saleh-Gholam-Zadeh]

Typing

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/home/diego/anaconda3/lib/

in the terminal will solve the problem
