OSError Install issue: won't open the gmt library, image not found

[yodges]

Using Mac os x sierra and the latest version of conda I followed everything on the installation page
https://genericmappingtools.github.io/gmt-python/install.html including setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH in .bashrc to my anaconda library and get this error

>>> import gmt

  Referenced from: /Users/XXXX/anaconda3/lib/libgdal.20.dylib
  Reason: image not found

Here's what my .bashrc looks like

PS1="\w ";
export PS1

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$HOME/anaconda3/lib

Also I have conda-forge set as the priority conda channel in .condarc. According to this https://conda-forge.org/docs/conda-forge_gotchas.html conda forge uses icu 56. In the error however my system is trying to use icu 58? I'm not sure what I am missing, any help?

**edit: when I created a new conda environment and recreated all the steps, it works. ALSO, i had to reinstall jupyter and nb_conda in this environment in order to get it working in a notebook

@yodges that was a problem with the GMT alpha build. I detected this in my CI builds and fixed it. That's why when you reinstalled it worked. You were getting a broken version of GMT itself.
