X11 problem

ROOT
7

I think you need to post (attach) here two files: “config.status” and “config.log”

8

What output should I expect from running source /…/bin/thisroot.sh ?
I’m doing it correctly now but still don’t get anything in return.

I still get the splashscreen for 5 seconds when I run ROOT

9

There is no verbose output from “source /…/bin/thisroot.[c]sh”. This call sets some ROOT related system variables only (valid for the “current” shell in which you called it).

Looking at the “config.log”, it seems like you tried to execute:
configure libx11
Also, your machine is an “i686”, NOT a “x86_64”.

haha sorry my bad, I was just messing around, here’s the right one:

Try to build your ROOT from scratch using (use “copy” / “paste” to execute these commands): bash make distclean unset ROOTSYS ./configure --enable-explicitlink --enable-soversion --all > configure.out.txt 2>&1 make > make.out.txt 2>&1

I gave you FULL command lines that you need (in my previous post here). Do not change them. Just run them as they are (use “copy” / “paste” with a mouse).

16

I used those exact command lines and it took about 30 minutes for the last make command. However, my graphical problem when running ROOT is still there. What should I do next?

17

Well, for the moment I have no idea … let’s try the usual way …

  1. have a look into the “make.out.txt” file and check that there are no errors reported (it’s a long file so try to execute something like “grep make make.out.txt” -> this should give you any lines with make errors, if present, and try “tail make.out.txt” and see if there’s the “ROOT BUILD SUCCESSFUL.” message present)
  2. attach three files: “config.status”, “config.log” and “configure.out.txt”
  3. run “source /…/bin/thisroot.sh” and then post the output of:
    root-config --version
    root-config --arch
    root-config --platform
    root-config --config
    root-config --features
  4. follow two posts:
    [url]ROOT - No graphical output shown
    [url]ROOT - No graphical output shown

You seem to have another version of ROOT in “/usr/local/root”.

How is it possible that “root-config” has been found without calling “source /…/bin/thisroot.sh” first?
Try:
which root-config
type root-config
echo $PATH
echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Can it be that you put “/usr/local/root/lib” in the ld.so cache? Try:
/sbin/ldconfig -v|grep root

Try also:
ls -aliR /usr/local/root/lib

physics@physics-VirtualBox:~$ which root-config

Please do NOT execute “source /…/bin/thisroot.sh” and try:

which root-config
type root-config
echo $PATH
echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
locate libCore

One needs to understand where does this “root-config” that returns “/usr/local/root/” come from.

I suspect this is the problem.
In general, you should make sure that you have “completely removed” (i.e. use “remove with any associated configuration files”) all standard Ubuntu’s ROOT packages, before trying to build your own ROOT version.

24

In a new terminal, without running “source /…/bin/thisroot.sh,” i got:

physics@physics-VirtualBox:~$ which root-config
/usr/local/root/bin/root-config
physics@physics-VirtualBox:~$ type root-config
root-config is /usr/local/root/bin/root-config
physics@physics-VirtualBox:~$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/root/bin:/usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games
physics@physics-VirtualBox:~$ echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH

/usr/local/root-v5-34-00-patches/lib/libCore.so

I tried building from scratch twice so far, but didn’t delete the files from the first time. That is the root you’re seeing in /usr/local/. The new one is in /home/physics/root-v5-34. So are you saying I should delete all the files from the first time I tried building?

25

You should make sure that all “existing” ROOT versions are NOT “visible” when you build new ROOT.
That means, “unset ROOTSYS”, remove any references to “/usr/local/root” ("/usr/local/root-v5-34-00-patches") from PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH and so on (e.g. remove any references from your “.profile”, “.bash_profile”, “.bashrc”, and so on and then re-login to make sure that everything is gone).
You could also try to (just to make sure that they “disappear”):
mv /usr/local/root /usr/local/root.orig
mv /usr/local/root-v5-34-00-patches /usr/local/root-v5-34-00-patches.orig
Also, always remove the “destination subdirectory” (so that there are no remnants from any previous trials) and start with a “fresh” source code (i.e. remove the “source subdirectory” and unpack the source code again).

BTW. I don’t understand why “locate libCore” did not return any “/usr/local/root/lib/libCore.*”. If “/usr/local/root” is a symbolic link to “/usr/local/root-v5-34-00-patches”, make sure that this link “disappears”, too. (The same concerns any other symbolic links that point to anywhere in the “old” ROOT.)

26

Have you succeeded?
If not, I’ve got another idea which may help. Try to configure your ROOT using:
./configure --enable-explicitlink --enable-soversion --enable-rpath --all > configure.out.txt 2>&1
