when i install tensorflow on my centos 6.5, i got a problem, i install tensorflow by code below:

sudo pip install --upgrade https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/linux/cpu/tensorflow-0.8.0-cp27-none-linux_x86_64.whl

even though i could pip list the modules:

# pip list
numpy (1.11.0)
pandas (0.18.0)
pip (1.5.4)
protobuf (3.0.0b2)
python-dateutil (2.5.3)
pytz (2016.4)
redis (2.10.5)
setuptools (20.10.1)
six (1.10.0)
tensorflow (0.8.0)
.......

but when import the module i got this error:

import tensorflow
Traceback (most recent call last): 
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> 
File "/usr/local/python27/lib/python2.7/site-packages/tensorflow/__init__.py", line 23, in <module>

from tensorflow.python import pywrap_tensorflow

_mod = imp.load_module('_pywrap_tensorflow', fp, pathname, description) 
ImportError: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.15' not found (required by /usr/local/python27/lib/python2.7/site-packages/tensorflow/python/_pywrap_tensorflow.so)

so how could i fix it , any suggestion will be appreciated

    Maybe [this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/33655731/error-while-importing-tensorflow-in-python2-7-in-ubuntu-12-04-glibc-2-17-not-f) can help? – Mathias711 Apr 26 '16 at 10:59

I tried installing from conda. First I installed anaconda installation. When I installed Tensorflow from conda as mentioned https://www.tensorflow.org/versions/r0.10/get_started/os_setup.html#anaconda-installation I got the same error. I tried installing the new GLIBC_2.14 version from the following answer How to upgrade glibc from version 2.12 to 2.14 on CentOS? It sort of worked, because I was no more getting the GLIBC_2.14 not found error, but instead I am getting a new error which is segmentation failure error.

>>> import tensorflow
Segmentation fault

Edit[1] The segmentation error also has a work around. You need to import numpy and matplotlib before importing tensorflow. Not sure how it got fixed by doing so, but it got fixed.

I had to rebuild the tensorflow pip package from source to make it work in CentOS 6 because there's some fundamental issue with the default pip package and which glibc was used to build it for CentOS6. Here's a memo I made of it. (Note I did this a month ago)

  1. download bazel-4.5-dist.zip and follow these steps to install, newer versions of bazel don't work as of 2017-09-04

    ~$ cd  
~$ wget https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/releases/download/0.4.5/bazel-0.4.5-dist.zip  
~$ cd /usr/src  
~$ mkdir bazel-0.4.5-dist.zip  
~$ cd bazel-0.4.5-dist  
~# mv ~/bazel-0.4.5-dist.zip ./  
~# unzip bazel-0.4.5-dist.zip  
~# ./compile.sh

  2. Modify ~/.bashrc to activate devtoolset-2 instead of devtoolset-6. Tensorflow will not build with newer gcc, only up to gcc 4

    in ~/.bashrc

    source /opt/rh/devtoolset-2/enable
#source /opt/rh/devtoolset-6/enable

  3. Clone tensorflow into /usr/src

    ~$ cd /usr/src  
~# git clone https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow

  4. Configure tensorflow

    ~$ cd tensorflow  
~# ./configure

    Select "No" for all support options except CUDA. Everything else should be default

  5. go to /usr/src/tensorflow/third_party/gpus/crosstool modify CROSSTOOL_clang.tpl and CROSSTOOL_nvcc.tpl add the following line to the section labeled "toolchain"

    linker_flag : "-B/opt/rh/devtoolset-2/root/usr/bin"

  6. Build tensorflow

    ~$ cd /usr/src/tensorflow  
~# bazel build --config=opt --config=cuda //tensorflow/tools/pip_package:build_pip_package

  7. Create pip package

    ~# bazel-bin/tensorflow/tools/pip_package/build_pip_package /tmp/tensorflow_pkg

  8. Install custom pip package

    ~# sudo pip install /tmp/tensorflow_pkg/tensorflow-1.3.0-cp34-cp34m-linux_x86_64.whl
