[SOLVED] Failed to load the native TensorFlow runtime. Reason : Image not found. What am I doing wrong?

Issue

Running on a Macbook Pro with a quad core I7 and NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M.

I get this error message when running Tensorflow from virtualenv.What am I doing wrong? I'm using protobuf version 3.2.0

Failed to load the native TensorFlow runtime.

See https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/master/tensorflow/g3doc/get_started/os_setup.md#import_error

Solution

Thank you for all your suggestions. I tried installing the CPU only version of TensorFlow using

{
pip install --upgrade https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/mac/cpu/tensorflow-1.0.1-py2-none-any.whl
}

which fixed the problem. The interesting thing were the messages stating that I was not using the GPU.
