'getDefaultForGlobal' undeclared at installing root 5.14 +

ROOT
1

Hi,

(I am working at an SLC3 machine)

I wanted to install the new root-version. First I tried to update my source to the
HEAD-version and do ‘make’, but it didn’t work. I tried as well to download the source from the ‘recommended’ version (5.14.00b) but I experienced the same problem
(although I deleted the whole root-tree to be sure to not have any interferences of some dependencies.

When doing ‘make’ I get the following error-messages (for both versions I tried)

I don’t know how to proceed to get rid of this problem. Any hint is very welcome :wink:

Thanks for your help

You have an old version of libshift. Make sure you get the latest version.

Cheers, Fons.

Hi,

I looked at the versions of libshift I have on my computer. It seems, that I have got the newest one.
I have looked again into the root install manual and searched through the CERN computing helpdesk,
and there is sometimes mentioned a file called libshift.a which is told to be a static library.

as I have the version 2.1.2.4 of libshift.so, I suppose that libshift.a is the problem. Could you give me an advice how I get the libshift.a - file,… (if it is really the one I need).

I tried as well replacing the file /usr/lib/libshift.a by the one from an lxplus-machine. But it didn’t change the outcome.

Thanks for your help,
Peter

Dear all,

I am running into the same problem that you mention here, i checked the libraries, and i get the same as you:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Jan 19 04:07 /usr/lib/libshift.so.2.1 -> libshift.so.2.1.2.4 (etc)

I work with Scientific Linux CERN SLC release 4.5 (Beryllium).

… but i couldn’t find an answer on the forum, did anyone manage something ?

thanks,
marie.

Hi,

Please try with the version 2.1.1-9. I use this version to build ROOT binaries for LCG.
