ImportError: dlopen Library not loaded in Tensorflow is an error which occurs when you have installed the GPU-enabled version of Tensorflow instead of the CPU version of Tensorflow.
In this blog post I will get into what occurs when you get this error and how we can get rid of it with a main solution, I will also try to present other solutions if possible.
Explaining ImportError: dlopen Library not loaded in Tensorflow
This error occurs when you have installed the GPU-enabled version of Tensorflow instead of the CPU version of Tensorflow.
Make sure your error message matches the one bellow. The goal is to avoid confusion by not mixing between errors.
Bellow I make my best attempt at solving the error and present multiple possible solutions.
Solution : install the CPU version of Tensorflow and remove the GPU-enabled version of Tensorflow
First of all you should understand that this error occurs when you do not have CUDA on your machine and you have just installed and imported the version of Tensorflow that has GPU-enabled.
Your machine most likely has only a CPU and that is why you are getting the error message. The solution is to avoid using the GPU-enabled Tensorflow version and use the CPU version of Tensorflow.
First, for python 3 you should start by installing the wheel with this command.
If you have python 2 you should use the command bellow instead.
The last step is to install the Tensorflow binary, for python 3 try this command.
I hope this solution has been helpful. If the above failed, I am sorry I cannot vouch for other solutions because this is the only solution that has worked for me.
Summing-up
I hope the error ImportError: dlopen Library not loaded in Tensorflow is gone
Finally, we are at the end of this article, I hope this article has been helpful, I hope you solved your problem, coding can be hard when you have a lot of confusing errors here and there.
