Hello, So I’m trying to run a simulation in Garfield++ and as far as I can tell I almost have it working. Root, Geant4, Garfield, and SRIM/TRIM are all installed and I think they all work individually but I get the following error when I try to run something of my own with make. /home/jason/garfie…

The path used by the snap itself for ROOT’s own includes is /snap/root-framework/current/usr/local/include, but I suspect simply adding this include folder might not be the only problem. Unfortunately the snap package of ROOT isn’t designed to integrate with other packages in this manner, as a comb…

Those are all very good ideas. Can’t promise I’ll try them all tonight but I’ll try them in the next day or two. I am a little bummed that two out of three of your proposed solutions involve uninstalling and reinstalling at least ROOT - but I was starting to suspect something like that.

Alright, update. I uninstalled and reinstalled Root 6.22 by compiling it myself.

Not entirely sure what you’re going for. I can confirm that the CMakeLists file already has this code in it.

I’m showing you which environment variable is checked: ROOTSYS. You don’t have it set. Setting it to "${ROOT_DIR}" or "${ROOT_DIR}/../../.." should/might help.

Ah. I got a work-around in place using ccmake alright but now that I see what you were going for, yeah - I think that would have worked. Thank you. Edit:- I do think I have garfield++ working now, but I’m not done testing it to know for sure. I’ll keep you all up to date when I’m sure.

I think it possibly would have worked, but it’s an unclean solution because there will almost certainly be subtle bugs and ABI incompatibilities. I tried building garfield with the snap today on a clean system, I couldn’t even get to same point because CMake was generating make files that called th…

The new build doesn’t use the snap framework, and I noticed that while it still has the genmap and rootdraw not found issue it seems to work. [Again, not entirely sure about that because I’m not done testing it. I just know that as of now is that it seems to have installed with no issues and seems t…

[image] Missing root components ROOT genmap has been dropped, instead the rootmap file is now generated by rootcint (aka rootcling). I don’t know what rootdraw is, this is not ROOT.
