Error imporing tensorflow in python 3.4 “Failed to load the native TensorFlow runtime”

Question

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/tensorflow/python/init.py", line 61, in from tensorflow.python import pywrap_tensorflow File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/tensorflow/python/pywrap_tensorflow.py", line 28, in _pywrap_tensorflow = swig_import_helper() File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/tensorflow/python/pywrap_tensorflow.py", line 24, in swig_import_helper _mod = imp.load_module('_pywrap_tensorflow', fp, pathname, description) File "/usr/lib/python3.4/imp.py", line 243, in load_module return load_dynamic(name, filename, file) ImportError: /opt/Xilinx/Vivado/2015.1/lib/lnx64.o/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.19' not found (required by /usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/tensorflow/python/_pywrap_tensorflow.so)

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

for some common reasons and solutions. Include the entire stack trace above this error message when asking for help.

i am using ubuntu 14.4 and python version 3.4

How did you install TensorFlow? For Linux and Python 3.4 you may want to try this: tensorflow.org/install/install_linux#python_34 — Neal

It looks like you installed Xilinx which includes an older version of libstdc++. If you remove it from your LD_LIBRARY_PATH, that should solve the issue.
