So it seems the kernel can start put embedPy somehow fails. Can't figure out what is the problem here.
Put all jupyterq files plus p.q and p.k into /opt/anaconda3/q and p.so and jupyterq.so into /opt/anaconda3/q/m64.
Added "DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH": "/opt/anaconda3/lib" to kernel.json for qpk kernel. To no avail.

Any help will be appreciated.
