Lightgbm OSError, Library not loaded

If I simply do:

import lightgbm as lgb

I'm getting

python script.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):

Referenced from: /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/lightgbm/lib_lightgbm.so

I seem to have everything installed correct:

python -m pip install lightgbm
Requirement already satisfied: lightgbm in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages
Requirement already satisfied: wheel in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages (from lightgbm)
Requirement already satisfied: scikit-learn in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages (from lightgbm)
Requirement already satisfied: scipy in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages (from lightgbm)
Requirement already satisfied: numpy in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages (from lightgbm)

I do have a 6 folder in my GCC folder. Should I need to install another version of GCC for this to work?

    The answer and comment may help you.

    Build LightGBM in Mac:

    brew install cmake  
brew install gcc --without-multilib  
git clone --recursive https://github.com/Microsoft/LightGBM ; cd LightGBM  
mkdir build ; cd build  
cmake ..   
make -j

    Then install:

    cd ../python-packages  
sudo python setup.py install --precompile

    As stated by @ecodan, you might need to force Mac to use GCC and G++ instead of the default compiler. So instead of building with cmake .., try:

    cmake -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=/usr/local/Cellar/gcc/6.1.0/bin/gcc-6 -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/usr/local/Cellar/gcc/6.1.0/bin/g++-6 ..

    ajusting the versions to match yours.
