Answer 1

It is kind of late answer, but for future people coming here. I have faced the very same problem, but for XGBoost on Java. It turns out libgomp is required. On Debian it just took an apt-get install -y libgomp1 and it worked.

Answer 2

This link helped me out with the Gomp issue, as I finally got xboost to load and was able to do "Fitting XGBoost to the Training set":

from xgboost import XGBClassifier
classifier = XGBClassifier()
classifier.fit(X_train, y_train)

Unfortunately the classifier.fit(X_train,y_train) crashed the script saying that the "kernel had to be reloaded"

Working on that right now
