Python Unable To Import Tensorflow To Mac Os X 10.8

I am trying to install tensorflow on my mac air (specs: OSX 10.8.4, 4GB RAM). While tensorflow installs cleanly, as on the tensorflow.org page, and I am able to do $ source bin/act

Solution 1:

The issue appears to be that the binary distribution of TensorFlow is not compatible with Mac OS X 10.8. The relevant part of the error message is this one:

Symbol not found: ___sincos_stret

According to varioussources, this is a known issue when using binaries compiled for a newer version of Mac OS X on 10.8 (Mavericks), because the symbol ___sincos_stret is not defined in the standard libraries for that version of the OS.

To address this, you will need to (i) upgrade to Mac OS X 10.9 or later, (ii) follow the instructions to install from source, or (iii) use Docker.

Solution 2:

I had similar issue. I used docker toolbox and was able to run tensorflow. You can follow my question and my solution.
