GX11[.so | .dll | .dylib | .sl | .dl | .a] does not exist

[dboeckenhoff]

Hello everyone,

I set up root 5.34/14 on my local pc. (linux mint 17.2).

I did so with apt-get:

apt-get install root-system apt-get install libroot-bindings-python-dev since i work with pyroot

in my .bashrc i added:

export ROOTSYS=`root-config --prefix`
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${ROOTSYS}/lib
export PATH=${PATH}:${ROOTSYS}/bin:~/bin
export PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/root5.34

so ROOSYS is $ echo $ROOTSYS /usr

since it seems some packages are not included in the standrad libroot-bindings (like TSpectrum and others) i did brute-force:

So everything looks fine but i get the error message:

[quote]Error in TUnixSystem::DynamicPathName: GX11[.so | .dll | .dylib | .sl | .dl | .a] does not exist in /usr/lib:.::/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/root5.34:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/root5.34/cint/stl

when drawing a simple TH1F or i guess anything graphical.

Any ideas? Of course I searched for the problem, but everything i found seems not to match my problem. I hope i stated all important info.

Thanks for your help,

Daniel

Try:
apt-get install root-system* root-plugin* libroot*

Thanks. apt-get install root-system* solved the X11 Problem. apt-get install root-plugin* needed the package libiodbc2 before so I installed it. After installing root-plugin also the second error message is gone and the histo was drawn. Now everything seems to work. THANK you

For the record and people beeing redirected:

run

sudo apt-get install libiodbc2
apt-get install root-system*
apt-get install root-plugin*
apt-get install libroot*

to solve the problem stated above.

Hi everyone,
I just read what “You think about it” and am also otherwise convinced. What path structure do you prefer for the installation and why? I know there is a section Install location in the documentation, but i would like your coments

Cheers,
Daniel

It’s up to you to decide where you want to keep your ROOT installations.
Here are some old posts with examples of different building procedures:

Trouble Installing

The easiest way would be to build ROOT “in-place” (in case anything goes wrong you’ll have additional “configure.out.txt” and “make.out.txt” files to look into): rm -rf v5-34-00-patches git clone -b v5-34-00-patches http://root.cern.ch/git/root.git v5-34-00-patches cd v5-34-00-patches unset ROOTSYS ./configure --enable-soversion --all > configure.out.txt 2>&1 make > make.out.txt 2>&1 On some newer operating systems, you may need to add “--enable-gsl-shared --disable-fitsio” into the “co…

P.S. Note that you must first get rid of the “system-provided” ROOT version → execute “sudo apt-get purge root-system* root-plugin* libroot*” (afterwards check that the “/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/root5.34” and the “/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/root5.34” subdirectories disappeared completely).
