Tried to run benchmark in a Jupyter notebook and came across this fatal error:

Error #15: Initializing libiomp5md.dll, but found libiomp5md.dll already initialized.

@spratzt Googling seems to yield a few answers like this: [python - sklearn OMP: Error #15 when fitting models - Stack Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20554074/sklearn-omp-error-15-when-fitting-models)

What environment are you using and how are you installing dependencies?

Thanks for your rapid response.

I posted the query in the hope that there might be an obvious solution that others had already found. The googling I did makes it clear that there isn’t. I won’t be doing any more on this.

Did you try the first answer’s solution? It seems straightforward: ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex028/uploads/drivendata1/original/2X/c/c58ab525bcf4cffa9c978a284e81074bb8492eba.png)
