Creating 2 canvas in the row crashes

ROOT
1

Hello,

I installed 5.14/00g on my linux, but must be missing something: creating 2 canvas in the row crashes:

root [2] TCanvas* c = new TCanvas( “Hfitter”, “Hfitter”, 0, 0, 500, 500 );
root [3] TCanvas* d = new TCanvas( “Hfitter2”, “Hfitter”, 0, 0, 500, 500 );

any idea ?
Thanks,

BTW, I do have ROOTSYS set correctly and the files $ROOTSYS/icons/arrow_*.xpm are there.

I have two versions of root on my linux, 5.16 and 5.14, located in /usr/local. In this directory, a symbolic link “root” points to the version I want, and my ROOTSYS is set to /usr/local/root.

Salut Sandrine!

If you built root yourself (./configure --prefix=/usr/local/root; make; make install) then check root.cern.ch/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=4671. If that doesn’t help then please post config.status (it’s where you ran configure).

If you downloaded the binary ROOT distribution we’ll need:
ls -l /usr/local/root
ls -l /usr/local/root/
echo $ROOTSYS
echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
echo $PATH
It’s not obvious what could be wrong, but this might give some hints…

Cheers, Axel.
