Question

I am a paid user and I have installed canopy on a red hat server and got the virtual environment configured. In the virtual env, python is the one contained in the environment:
(User) $ which python
~/Enthought/Canopy_64bit/User/bin/python
But when I cannot import "numpy" from python:
(User) $ python

I tried to update numpy with enpkg, but the above error still shows up when importing numpy.
(User) $ enpkg numpy

Sorry for the late reply! This is due to a bug in Canopy 1.0.0 (beta) for Linux. For a workaround, please see https://support.enthought.com/entries/21656595-ImportError-libmkl-intel-lp64-so-cannot-open-shared-object-file
