When I deactivate the base environment and try and import pygplates, I get the following:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “”, line 1, in
ImportError: libboost_program_options.so.1.72.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directorySo it seems to be different dependency issues no matter the conda environment or if not in a conda environment.
Hmm, not sure why that’s happening. Also my Ubuntu 20.04 uses boost 1.71 (and yours is looking for 1.72).
In any case, I think you’re wanting to use pygplates in a conda environment (so you can use conda packages at the same time) so the best bet for now is to compile pygplates using the dependencies in your conda environment. You can do that by following the instructions in this thread. In particular you can start with this post but also use conda’s cmake (mentioned in this post) and apply the patches mentioned in this post.
That should hopefully gets things working for you until the next pygplates release in the coming months (which will support conda).
