GLIBCXX_3.4.15' not found

Hi All.

There is a problem on my RHEL 6.7 with Matplotlib in Intel Distribution for Python (2.7 and 3.5). It requires for newer  gcc than installed.

I know how to fix it in a rough way: I should upgrade to gcc 4.7. Now I'm on gcc-4.4.7-16. But Numpy and SciPy work fine. So, I'm just looking for a good advise.

You can repeat the error by executing:

/opt/intel/python/2.7.20150803_184913/bin/python2.7 -c "import matplotlib.pyplot as plt"

My output is:

Hi Fedor,

We have fixed the problem for our Beta release which will be available in a few weeks. We haven't tried installing newer c++ libraries, but I expect that will work. Thanks.

Hi Robert,

What a relief. I hate to fight againts WindMills. 

Thank you for for quick and informative response.
