[SOLVED] numpy error: cannot import name multiarray

Hi,

I am using Spyder in anaconda2 to write a part of my code and then run the .py file using runSofa. It worked properly before, but recently I needed to import numpy:

import numpy as np
File “/home/zahra/anaconda2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/numpy/__init__.py”, line 142, in <module>
from . import add_newdocs
File “/home/zahra/anaconda2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/numpy/add_newdocs.py”, line 13, in <module>
from numpy.lib import add_newdoc
File “/home/zahra/anaconda2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/numpy/lib/__init__.py”, line 8, in <module>
from .type_check import *
File “/home/zahra/anaconda2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/numpy/lib/type_check.py”, line 11, in <module>
import numpy.core.numeric as _nx
File “/home/zahra/anaconda2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/numpy/core/__init__.py”, line 26, in <module>
raise ImportError(msg)

and it causes this error:

ImportError:
Importing the multiarray numpy extension module failed. Most
likely you are trying to import a failed build of numpy.
If you’re working with a numpy git repo, try git clean -xdf (removes all
files not under version control). Otherwise reinstall numpy.

Original error was: cannot import name multiarray

I tried many instructions I found on the web (reinstalling numpy, etc.) but it did not work. When I uninstall anaconda and just use this instruction:

sudo apt-get install python2.7-dev python-numpy python-scipy

the .py file works properly.

Does anyone know how I can fix this problem?

Best,
Zahra
