No GLIBCXX

[phisanti]

I have just installed spacy via pip3 install spacy. Then, when I try to run import spacy module I got the following error:

/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.29' not found (required by /home/scm/miniconda3/envs/tw_feeds/lib/python3.10/site-packages/spacy/tokens/span_group.cpython-31
0-x86_64-linux-gnu.so)

I am running a ubuntu 20 in a WSL machine. I have already installed the GCC libs, so not sure how to get the GLIBCXX version that it's asking for.

If you are using conda, can you try installing spacy through conda instead?

conda install -c conda-forge spacy

You can also pick conda in the quickstart here for the right commands: https://spacy.io/usage

I haven't come across that particular error so I'm not sure how to fix it for pip, but I am hopeful that the conda install should work.

Let me transfer this to the discussion board's installation section...
