ImportError: undefined symbol zmq_strerror

Question

I'm trying to install Jupyter Notebook to run the TensorFlow 2 models tutorial. (https://tensorflow2objectdetectioninstallation.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install.html#tensorflow-models-installation) The packages seemed to have installed fine but when I try to run:

jupyter notebook or python3.7 -m jupyter notebook

I get this error:

Answer 1

I uninstalled pyzmq and built it from source instead. This solved my issue and I can run jupyter notebook fine now. I'm now having a different problem where numpy is not importing properly from within jupyter.
