Issue with Pandas: ImportError libstdc++.so.6 inside a Conda environment running PyCharm IDE

Question

I am using PyCharm IDE from within a Conda environment and I am writing some python 3.10 code that uses the Pandas. This is on a brand new Linux Ubuntu 20.04 build (about a couple of days old) and I’m running into library issues:

import pandas._libs.window.aggregations as window_aggregations
ImportError: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.29' not found (required by /home/anthony/anaconda3/envs/CPRD-software/lib/python3.10/site-packages/pandas/_libs/window/aggregations.cpython-310-x86_64-linux-gnu.so)

I’ve tried updating LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include the libstdc++.so.6 location but that didn’t work.

I’ve looked inside the ./lib directory of my environment (~/anaconda3/env/CPRD-software/lib) and I can see:

libstdc++.so.6 -> /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6

Also, when I’ve tried numerous ways of installing Pandas (pip, conda and within PyCharm IDE) it always installs version 1.4.4, and never 1.5.0 including when I’ve tried conda install pandas=1.5.0.

I’m not sure where to start and I am loath to "hack" around too much without having a firmer grasp on a possible solution.
