Python: Installed Anaconda, but can't import numpy or matplotlib in Jupyter notebook

I'm new to Python, so maybe there is a simple solution to this. I installed Anaconda and thought everything would be straightforward, but even though Jupyter works fine I can't import numpy and matplotlib into my notebook. Instead I get this error:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Since both packages show up in $ conda list its probably some kind of linking error(?), but that is unfortunately something a beginner can hardly solve for himself. Can anyone help?

The key to your problem is possibly that you're running a pretty old Mac OS X version as _strnlen wasn't even available until 10.7 release.

Anaconda is built for at least OS X 10.7 (according to this), so you're probably out of luck here and a possible solution would be to upgrade the system.

Okay so If I correctly understand what you are saying I propose that you add the package in the same folder your python file is located in. If possible add the code you have used to import the data so I can located any possible mistakes
