Question

Running on a Macbook Pro with a quad core I7 and NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M.

I get this error message when running Tensorflow from virtualenv.What am I doing wrong? I'm using protobuf version 3.2.0

Thank you for all your suggestions. I tried installing the CPU only version of TensorFlow using

{
pip install --upgrade https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/mac/cpu/tensorflow-1.0.1-py2-none-any.whl
}

which fixed the problem. The interesting thing were the messages stating that I was not using the GPU.
