pyRoot on OS X Maverick

I just tried to create a TCanvas in the root interpreter, it shows up as expected. But if I want to draw something to that Canvas, I get the same error as in this thread Linker problem with Mac OS 10.9 and libAfterImage

[quote=“dhill”]I’m not sure why it won’t work in my case, strange…

Just to document what I see currently, I get the error message:

*** Break *** bus error

right at the point where my code attempts to draw stuff onto a TCanvas. It creates the TCanvas objects and I see them blank on my screen, but it crashes shortly after.[/quote]

edit to answer your post: XQuartz is working with other applications, I don’t think this is the problem.
