OpenBLAS error when importing numpy: `pthread_creat error in blas_thread_init function`

Question

All of a sudden, I cannot import numpy:

import numpy as np
OpenBLAS: pthread_creat error in blas_thread_init function. Error code:1

I'm running numpy from Anaconda 1.10.1-py27_0 but I had the same issue on 1.9.3-py27_0

Any clues?

Edit:Trying to find out what the version used is I did:

>ldd multiarray.so
linux-vdso.so.1 =>  (0x00007fff53fd4000)
libopenblas.so.0 => not found
libm.so.6 => /lib64/libm.so.6 (0x00007faa1ec14000)
libpython2.7.so.1.0 => not found
libpthread.so.0 => /lib64/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007faa1e9f7000)
libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00007faa1e663000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x000000377fc00000)

so it seems that the library is not there.

I had a similar problem with anaconda. I solved it by updating numpy, scipy and openblas
