Error when compiling ROOT macro with ACLiC

ROOT
1

I’m trying to compile a macro with the command:

$ .L nstars1.C+

and get the following error:

I installed ROOT using the command:

$ brew install root

everything was fine, no errors, it is up to date. Does anyone has a clue why am I having this error?

ROOT Version: 6.26/06
Platform: MacOS Big Sur 11.6.7

What does gInterpreter->GetSharedLibs() say before and after you try .L nstars1.C+?

It says the same thing.

…and that includes -lCheckFix ! Good.

Now we need to find out where that comes from. Is the “before” case right after your start up ROOT, or do you do things in between?

It is right after my start up ROOT.

Sorry for my large latency. That’s not what I was looking for, sorry for not being explicit enough. Let’s try this again: can you send the output of

root -b -q -e  'gInterpreter->GetSharedLibs();

This verifies whether the library gets loaded right at start of ROOT.

And then of

root -b -q -e 'gDebug=3' -e '.L nstars1.C' > cling.log 2>&1

This checks why the library gets loaded, but in interpreted mode.

Finally

root -b -q -e 'gDebug=3' -e '.L nstars1.C++' > aclic.log 2>&1

which allows me to cross check whether ACLiC does something different than the interpreter.

And then

ldd nsrats1_C.so

which shows the library dependencies.

Thanks!
