My guess, which could be far off, is that it's a module yt is
importing.  I would try these things:

import numpy
import matplotlib.pyplot
import h5py

and see if any of those error out.  If they don't, then I'll send over
a script importing each component of yt which you can run which will
identify which particular submodule.  I suspect a symbol is unresolved
or causing some issue; we often see similar behavior on systems where
the linking is tricky.
