The kernel appears to have died. It will restart automatically

Question

When running:

from skimage import data

in jupyter notebook I always get the error : "The kernel appears to have died. It will restart automatically"

I use: Anaconda 4.2.0 (64-bit) Python 3.5.2 scikit-image 0.12.3 np111py35_1

When I run a notebook with python 2.7 kernel it goes fine with no error.

So I guess there is a compatibility issue? But I need to use python 3.5, any suggestion?

Can you try the import in a standard Python console and see what happens? — Stefan van der Walt
I got a much more explicit error message: Intel MKL FATAL ERROR: Cannot load libmkl_avx.so or libmkl_def.so — finlouarn
Try starting Jupyter with the --debug flag; hopefully it will print out information about where the kernel is crashing. — gatoatigrado
