Blosc import error into python

I just installed anaconda from a clean install and installed blosc using pip install blosc. I am now having this import error:

In [1]: import blosc
      ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am running Linux Mint 18 Sarah 64-bit Kernel Linux 4.4.0-21-generic x86_64 MATE 1.14.1

Can anyone please help with this error? Thank you.
