Research direction

Reproduce the import in the reported conda environment using the macOS commands, then inspect arrayfire/init.py and arrayfire/library.py, especially the _clibrary() path that raises the error. Compare the command-line and Python environments; done means identifying a reproducible cause and documenting or testing a fix for loading the ArrayFire libraries.

Description

Hi, I am using MACOS, I have 1. Download and install binaries 2. pip install arrayfire 3. export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/arrayfire/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH

It can be used with command line

But when I use the same conda environment and python VeM.py which is a script containing import arrayfire, it shows

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/zetao/Documents/code/edu/python_code/first_try/VEM_deblur.py", line 3, in <module>
    import arrayfire as af

    raise RuntimeError("Could not load any ArrayFire libraries.\n" + more_info_str)
RuntimeError: Could not load any ArrayFire libraries.

Can anyone kindly explain why?
