Cannot open gdml file

DanielBjorkman · February 14, 2019, 4:07pm

Hi everyone

Im a complete beginner using ROOT so please be patient

I guess there is something that is not imported yet. Do any of you have any ideas?

Im trying to import my gdml file with “TGeoafTGeoManager::Import(“tileFingerPos.gdml”);”

The error message:
“Error: Function Import(“tileFingerPos.gdml”) is not defined in current scope (tmpfile):1:
*** Interpreter error recovered ***”

Many thanks

Daniel

Try to execute root-config --has-python and root-config --has-gdml and see if you get “yes” in both cases.

DanielBjorkman · February 14, 2019, 4:32pm

Yes these seems to be correct:

Wile_E_Coyote · February 14, 2019, 4:48pm

In your first post, I can see a “misspelled” command TGeoafTGeoManager::Import("tileFingerPos.gdml"); and this “misspelled” class name will generate the error that you get in ROOT 5 (ROOT 6 will give you another error message). However, if you try the proper command TGeoManager::Import("tileFingerPos.gdml"); then it should work fine.

Thanks for the answer

The command was misspelled in the text, but it was correct in the image. The “TGeoManager::Import(“tileFingerPos.gdml”);” does still not work for me:

What is your ROOT version and how did you install it?

DanielBjorkman · February 15, 2019, 9:10am

I believe ROOT 5.34/38 was already installed on my VM. Is this version too old?

Wile_E_Coyote · February 15, 2019, 9:11am

That should still be fine.
Somehow, it behaves like it did not know the “TGeoManager” class.
Try to execute (there should be “libGeom”, “libGeomBuilder” and “libGeomPainter”):

ls -al ${ROOTSYS}/lib/libGeom*

DanielBjorkman · February 15, 2019, 9:50am

Finally I added the variables like this:
export ROOTSYS=/home/cbjorkma/root/root
export PATH=$ROOTSYS/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ROOTSYS/lib:LD_LIBRARY_PATH And with this variable definitions can I now access the libraries with "ls -al {ROOTSYS}/lib/libGeom*"

But even then the error message is the same when I try to open my gdml file:

Any idea of where the error could be?

Wile_E_Coyote · February 15, 2019, 9:57am

Try to first run “source /home/cbjorkma/root/root/bin/thisroot.sh” and then in the same terminal session start root.

DanielBjorkman · February 15, 2019, 11:08am

I tried and it gave me this error message:

Im very confused of why this is. Any ideas?

Wile_E_Coyote · February 15, 2019, 3:35pm

It seems you are canned in a Win-dose so, maybe @bellenot could help you get free.

bellenot · February 15, 2019, 3:39pm

It looks like you’re using a cygwin version. It should behave the same (more or less) than Linux. But note that it is not officially supported…

DanielBjorkman · February 18, 2019, 2:38pm

So I take it that I need to get a new version?

I tried installing root using “sudo yum install root” into /usr/bin/root:. This is now running version 6.14/08 and the error message from “TGeoManager::Import(“tileFingerPos.gdml”);” looks different:

Im also trying to install root via https://root.cern.ch/building-root, but without any luck. The cmake doesnt configure the files successfully. Would you recommend one way or the other to install the program?

DanielBjorkman · February 19, 2019, 8:39am

Hi again

I tried installing root from scratch but my cmake doesnt work correctly

Any idea of why this is?
