ModuleNotFoundError

[SreelakshmiChakyar]

I installed pymultinest using 'conda install conda-forge::pymultinest' but when I try to import pymultinest it shows an error as given below.
$$ python
Python 3.8.8 (default, Apr 13 2021, 19:58:26)
[GCC 7.3.0] :: Anaconda, Inc. on linux

import pymultinest
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pymultinest'
exit()

However, my system shows the pymultinest files as I search

$$ find ./ -name "pymultinest*" -print
./anaconda3/pkgs/pymultinest-2.12-pyh707e725_0.conda
./anaconda3/pkgs/pymultinest-2.12-pyh707e725_0
./anaconda3/pkgs/pymultinest-2.12-pyh707e725_0/site-packages/pymultinest-2.12.dist-info
./anaconda3/pkgs/pymultinest-2.12-pyh707e725_0/site-packages/pymultinest
./anaconda3/conda-meta/pymultinest-2.12-pyh707e725_0.json

Initially, when I installed pymultinest the error was
"Could not load MultiNest library: libgfortran.so.3". To solve that I uninstalled pymultynest, installed gfortran separately, and then reinstalled as mentioned above using conda.

Can you please help me to sort this out?

what is sys.path?

You can also try deleting anaconda and reinstalling it.

Hi,
Meanwhile, I did some reinstallations now the old error is showing again

ERROR: Could not load MultiNest library: libgfortran.so.3
ERROR: You have to build MultiNest,
ERROR: and point the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to it!
ERROR: manual: https://johannesbuchner.github.io/PyMultiNest/install.html

problem: libgfortran.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

is there any way to sort this out?

sys.path result is

['', '/home/sreepchakyar/anaconda3/lib/python38.zip', '/home/sreepchakyar/anaconda3/lib/python3.8', '/home/sreepchakyar/anaconda3/lib/python3.8/lib-dynload', '/home/sreepchakyar/anaconda3/lib/python3.8/site-packages', '/home/sreepchakyar/anaconda3/lib/python3.8/site-packages/locket-0.2.1-py3.8.egg']

Should I have to reinstall anaconda? And one more thing to mention, I am using the institute cluster, not my system.
Thanks

[JohannesBuchner]

yes

[JohannesBuchner]

and maybe ask your cluster admins for advice, they will know the system best

[SreelakshmiChakyar]

Thanks for suggestions and I will contact the cluster admins for more details about the system.
