Problem
Since yesterday I struggle to import some libraries such as GDAL (or iris) and I allways get the same type of outputs. ``` >>> import gdal Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "gdal.py", line 28, in <module> _gdal = swig_import_helper() File "gdal.py", line 24, in swig_import_helper _mod = imp.load_module('_gdal', fp, pathname, description) ImportError: dlopen(./_gdal.so, 2): Library not loaded: @rpath/libicui18n.56.dylib Referenced from: /Users/zoran/anaconda/lib/libgdal.20.dylib Reason: image not found ``` I searched in my files and found: - 1 files containing `libicui18n` 2 files containing `_gdal.so` /Users/zoran/anaconda/pkgs/icu-54.1-0/lib/libicui18n.54.1.dylib /Users/zoran/anaconda/lib/python2.7/site-packages/osgeo/_gdal.so /Library/Frameworks/GDAL.framework/Versions/2.1/Python/2.7/site-packages/osgeo/_gdal.so This morning I could import gdal without problem and suddenly (I don't know what I did) it was totally impossible. I tried to: - uninstall/install gdal - uninstall/install anaconda and install again gdal - create different new environments (in python2 and python3) and install only gdal I don't know what this `libicui18n.56.dylib` is, neighter `libgdal.20.dylib`. When I type otool -L with the name of the paths above I get: ``` libicui18n.54.dylib (compatibility version 54.0.0, current version 54.1.0) @loader_path/./libicuuc.54.dylib (compatibility version 54.0.0, current version 54.1.0) @loader_path/./libicudata.54.dylib (compatibility version 54.0.0, current version 54.1.0) /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 111.0.0) /usr/lib/libstdc++.6.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current version 7.4.0) /usr/lib/libgcc_s.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.0) @rpath/libgdal.1.dylib (compatibility version 20.0.0, current version 20.5.0) /usr/lib/libc++.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 120.0.0) /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1197.1.1) /Library/Frameworks/GDAL.framework/Versions/2.1/GDAL (compatibility version 22.0.0, current version 22.1.0) /usr/lib/libstdc++.6.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current version 56.0.0) /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 169.3.0) ``` When I type conda info: ``` platform : osx-64 conda version : 4.2.9 conda is private : False conda-env version : 4.2.9 conda-build version : 2.0.2 python version : 2.7.12.final.0 requests version : 2.11.1 root environment : /Users/zoran/anaconda (writable) default environment : /Users/zoran/anaconda envs directories : /Users/zoran/anaconda/envs package cache : /Users/zoran/anaconda/pkgs channel URLs : https://conda.anaconda.org/anaconda/osx-64/ https://conda.anaconda.org/anaconda/noarch/ https://conda.anaconda.org/scitools/osx-64/ https://conda.anaconda.org/scitools/noarch/ https://conda.anaconda.org/conda-forge/osx-64/ https://conda.anaconda.org/conda-forge/noarch/ https://repo.continuum.io/pkgs/free/osx-64/ https://repo.continuum.io/pkgs/free/noarch/ https://repo.continuum.io/pkgs/pro/osx-64/ https://repo.continuum.io/pkgs/pro/noarch/ config file : /Users/zoran/.condarc offline mode : False ``` I am wondering if somehow the libraries are saved in the wrong directrory? I've seen many similar issues but no trick to fix the problem. Thanks for helping
