Background:
I am trying to use pytables in conjunction with rootpy in order to convert ROOT files into hdf5 files.
I am constrained to using gcc 4.4.7 and therefore cannot upgrade to ROOT6 if it requires a gcc upgrade.
Problem:
I have installed pyTables via conda in a Python 2.7.13 environment. When I import tables I get something like:
>>> import tables
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/home/phys/villaa/python/anaconda3/envs/py27/lib/python2.7/site-packages/tables/__init__.py", line 90, in <module>
from .utilsextension import (
ImportError: /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `CXXABI_1.3.9' not found (required by /home/phys/villaa/python/anaconda3/envs/py27/lib/python2.7 /site-packages/tables/utilsextension.so)

I did some googling on this error and am now tentatively considering this to be a compiler issue. So I am wondering how I find the gcc requirements for pyTables, because I haven't been able to find any documentation on that so far. What are the gcc dependency requirements for pyTables?
I've also seen this post, but cannot fully understand it. It seems like I would want to use Anaconda's libstdc++ in my case -- because I can't update my systems compiler. It seems like my conda environment claims to have higher compiler values than my system:
(py27) cdms3:~ villaa$conda list |grep gcc
gcc 4.8.2 25 nlesc
libgcc 7.2.0 h69d50b8_2
libgcc-ng 7.2.0 h7cc24e2_2
root 6.04 py2.7_gcc4.8.2 nlesc
