Hi, I just installed WhisperX successfully. However, when calling the example Python script I am getting the following error during whisperx package import:

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

I already tried “export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libgomp.so.1” but it didn’t help.

Any idea how to fix it?

Hi,

We can import whisperx normally although some user warnings.
Please find our steps below:

Hi,

Thanks a lot for testing it out. Ok, I will reinstall JetPack because I wanna upgrade anyway. Maybe it will fix the issue.
