Error #15: Initializing libiomp5md.dll

[judirin]

Hello,

Thanks for the tutorial! I tried them today but the error "StdErr from Kernel Process OMP: Error #15: Initializing libiomp5md.dll, but found libiomp5md.dll already initialized." appears everytime. I've google it without any success. Do you have any recommendations?

Thank you!

@judirin Hi. Could you provide more details? Like what operation system you are using and when did you see this error?

@judirin Hi. Could you provide more details? Like what operation system you are using and when did you see this error?

1. I'm using Windows 10 Pro.
2. It shows when I run the blackjack_dqn.ipynb code and I start to train and log the performance with Logger. The full error says:
   StdErr from Kernel Process OMP: Error #15: Initializing libiomp5md.dll, but found libiomp5md.dll already initialized.
   OMP: Hint This means that multiple copies of the OpenMP runtime have been linked into the program. That is dangerous, since it can degrade performance or cause incorrect results. The best thing to do is to ensure that only a single OpenMP runtime is linked into the process, e.g. by avoiding static linking of the OpenMP runtime in any library. As an unsafe, unsupported, undocumented workaround you can set the environment variable KMP_DUPLICATE_LIB_OK=TRUE to allow the program to continue to execute, but that may cause crashes or silently produce incorrect results. For more information, please see http://www.intel.com/software/products/support/.

@judirin Will setting KMP_DUPLICATE_LIB_OK=TRUE work?
