Failed to load the native TensorFlow runtime : error while importing tensorflow

Question

I built TensorFlow from source on my Ubuntu 17.04 32bit

I got this message while importing tensorflow

my TensorFlow version : 1.0.1

Answer 1

I found the solution in sense that perhaps it seems to be some compatibility error in tensorflow version 1.6 or above.

Downgrading the tensorflow to version 1.5 solved my problem.

To do this , I recommend to uninstall tensorflow version 1.8 by using pip uninstall tensorflow and again installing the version 1.5 by using pip install tensorflow==1.5.

In addition i would recommend that uninstall and reinstall keras library as well.
