ROOT Version: 6.28/08
Platform: ubuntu1~22.04

Dear expert, when running the sparsehist.C tutorial, i got the following error. I check in the forum whether there is something related already to this *** Break *** segmentation violation, but I cannot see exactly a similar issues for this tutorial.

What might be the root cause for this issue?

root [0] .L sparsehist.C 
root [1] .x sparsehist.C 

 *** Break *** segmentation violation

The help of this tutorial suggest to run it this way:

root[0] .L $ROOTSYS/tutorials/hist/sparsehist.C+
root[1] sparsehist()

Or (if you run root from $ROOTSYS/tutorials/hist/):

root[0] .L sparsehist.C+
root[1] sparsehist()

Thank you for your prompt response.
I tried the first time to follow it but, as I got the following message, I decided to run it differently.

------------------------------------------------------------------
root [0] .L $ROOTSYS/tutorials/hist/sparsehist.C+ 
root [1] sparsehist()
Please run this script in compiled mode by running ".x sparsehist.C+"

The when changing the running method, I have the issue presented earlier.

Dear @couet Thanks so much,
I have check and the issue was the file DIR location
Thanks

Note that there is a problem when reloading the script:

root [0] .L sparsehist.C 
root [1] .L sparsehist.C 
Assertion failed: (isa<X>(Val) && "cast<Ty>() argument of incompatible type!"), function cast, file Casting.h, line 255.
Abort trap: 6
