Solved Jupyter requires gcc46

Importing numpy, scipy or matplotlib (maybe more) gives the same error of missing gcc 4.6 :

Code:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ImportError                               Traceback (most recent call last)

     17 except ImportError as exc:

ImportError: /lib/libgcc_s.so.1: version GCC_4.6.0 required by /usr/local/lib/gcc6/libgfortran.so.3 not found

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

     28 for envkey in env_added:

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: /lib/libgcc_s.so.1: version GCC_4.6.0 required by /usr/local/lib/gcc6/libgfortran.so.3 not found

This source, https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/jupyter/HPfdQC9UAW0 , speaks about same problem but for jupyterhub and that didn't workout for jupyter notebook for me. I didn't edit make.conf or libmap.conf in fear of breaking other things, btw.

What can be done about this?
Will renaming gcc6/gcc5 folder as gcc or gcc46 help?
 
Yes indeed, it worked.
This is what I had to do:

1. add
Code:
setenv  LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/lib/gcc6
to /.cshrc

2. add

Code:
import os
os.environ['LD_LIBRARY_PATH'] = '/usr/local/lib/gcc6'

to /usr/local/bin/jupyter-notebook

3. restart

Got this solution from the stackoverflow link ('https://stackoverflow.com/questions...otebook-numpy-pandas-matplotlib-error-freebsd') given in the link provided by Nicola Mingotti above.

Thanks all :)
