tensorflow: TF Quit working with /lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `CXXABI_1.3.8' not found, I then reinstalled

I had it working, and then went to use it once again (after some “normal” Ubuntu system updates one of which may have been bazel?) And I got the traceback with the CXXABI_1.3.8’ not found

So how should I remove the whole install and try again? or something easier?

Not sure what got updated but I got this message when importing tensorflow (which I had installed from source. So I reinstalled from source, and got the same result but with the added message about should not run from source tree??

If installed from binary pip package, provide:

1. A link to the pip package you installed:
2. The output from python -c "import tensorflow; print(tensorflow.__version__)". ImportError: /home/tom/anaconda3/bin/…/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `CXXABI_1.3.8’ not found (required by /home/tom/anaconda3/lib/python3.5/site-packages/tensorflow/python/_pywrap_tensorflow.so) Error importing tensorflow. Unless you are using bazel, you should not try to import tensorflow from its source directory; please exit the tensorflow source tree, and relaunch your python interpreter from there.

If installed from source, provide

1. The commit hash (git rev-parse HEAD) 28166c086204c5ca4134086f250469a3802546ea
2. The output of bazel version Build label: 0.3.2 Build target: bazel-out/local-fastbuild/bin/src/main/java/com/google/devtools/build/lib/bazel/BazelServer_deploy.jar Build time: Fri Oct 7 17:25:10 2016 (1475861110) Build timestamp: 1475861110 Build timestamp as int: 1475861110

If possible, provide a minimal reproducible example (We usually don’t have time to read hundreds of lines of your code)

What other attempted solutions have you tried?

Reinstall.
