I installed sage through conda in a new conda environment. Now whenever I try to run sage, it crashes. In the crash report I see the following error

ImportError: libec.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

So I installed the libec-dev manually throgh apt install commmand. Now when I try to run sage, it crashes with this error

ImportError: /home/user_name/miniconda3/envs/Wsage/lib/python2.7/site-packages/sage/libs/eclib/mwrank.so: undefined symbol: _Z10initprimesSsi

Thank you in advance.

Did you follow the instructions on the Conda wiki page of the Sage wiki?

Yes, I did. Also, sage notebook won't open either. sage-python does open . The error will appear if I enter from sage import all.

Could you please give us some informations so that someone can try to reproduce your problem:

  • which OS are you using ?
  • which commands did you type precisely until you reached the error ?
  • did you get some message during the install ?
  • ... ?

  • Ubuntu 17.10
    • I installed sage in a new conda environment using conda -forge install sage. So when I activate the environment and enter sage , I get the error.
    • Nope.

I can reproduce your problem. It seems that there is somewhere a version mismatch. Indeed, you can try the following command (from your terminal):

find /home/user_name/miniconda3/ -name "libec.so*"

You will see some libec.so.4 not libec.so.3

This should be fixdd upstream, thanks for reporting. A temporary workaround (that might lead to problems somewhere in Sage) is:

cd miniconda3/envs/sage/lib
ln -s libec.so.4.0.0 libec.so.3

This solution worked. Thank you(and everyone else) for your help. I hope this problem gets fixed soon.
