Intel MKL FATAL ERROR: Cannot load libmkl_avx2.so or libmkl_def.so

Question

I am running a python script and I get this error:

Intel MKL FATAL ERROR: Cannot load libmkl_avx2.so or libmkl_def.so.

Both files are present

Answer 1

It is also possible that you are running Python in a folder which does not exist.

Solution is simply go to another folder.

See this question: sh: 0: getcwd() failed: No such file or directory on cited drive
