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. Regards, Allen

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

Typing

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

in the terminal will solve the problem
