I have python 3.6 installed in my virtual env. I can import cv2 in my home directory. But when I change to any other directory it fails with following error: Please Help

import cv2

Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/Users/name/anaconda/envs/env-name/lib/python3.6/site-packages/cv2/__init__.py", line 4, in <module> from .cv2 import * ImportError: dlopen(/Users/name/anaconda/envs/env-name/lib/python3.6/site-packages/cv2/cv2.cpython-36m-darwin.so, 2): Symbol not found: _clock_gettime Referenced from: /Users/name/anaconda/envs/env-name/lib/python3.6/site-packages/cv2/.dylibs/libavutil.55.78.100.dylib (which was built for Mac OS X 10.12) Expected in: /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib in /Users/name/anaconda/envs/env-name/lib/python3.6/site-packages/cv2/.dylibs/libavutil.55.78.100.dylib

I have the same problem on macOS X El Capitan 10.11.6.

I think this is an issue with python-opencv and mac operating system. From what I gather apple changed something to do with _clock_gettime function, meaning the maintainers of python-opencv will need to update.

Thanks for the reply.

Is there any simple work around to this problem other than

  1. Wait till python-opencv update themself to changed _clock_gettime function
  2. Or we update our Mac OS (assuming this problem wont come with higher Mac OS versions)

I am going to try upgrading my Mac from El Capitan to High Sierra this evening. I will let you know if it fixes the issue.
