Python on ARCHER: Iris not working

[kieranmrhunt]

Hi,

I intend to use Iris to trim and convert some pp files before transferring them to an external server.

After using module load anaconda/python2-iris and then trying to import iris in a python script, I get the following traceback

File "/home/y07/y07/cse/anaconda/python2-iris/lib/python2.7/site-packages/scipy/linalg/misc.py", line 5, in <module>
    from .blas import get_blas_funcs
  File "/home/y07/y07/cse/anaconda/python2-iris/lib/python2.7/site-packages/scipy/linalg/blas.py", line 155, in <module>
    from scipy.linalg import _fblas
ImportError: libgfortran.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Am I missing another import or module? The documentation doesn't seem to be hugely helpful on this.

Thanks,
Kieran

Kieran,

Possibly this hasn't been installed properly, or has since been corrupted? If no-one suggests something smarter you could raise a ticket with the archer helpdesk (support@…) to get this re-installed, or IMO better, get your own anaconda (​https://www.archer.ac.uk/documentation/user-guide/python.php#cenv).

If you want simple Iris functionality within python2.7 this afternoon, you could source the miniconda on my home dir source /home/n02/n02/dcase/miniconda2/bin/activate , which should allow you to run python -c 'import iris'

If there are permissions issues, let me know,
Dave

Kieran,

I was just wondering whether you'd found a work-around for your problem?

Hi Dave,

Thanks for your reply - I opted for a miniconda env in the end; all works fine now.
Feel free to close this!
