How does one turn the GDML feature ON during ROOT installation?

I am facing a strange problem. I downloaded 6.20.04
wget https://root.cern/download/root_v6.20.04.Linux-ubuntu18-x86_64-gcc7.5.tar.gz
and unpacked it and changed my $ROOTSYS to this new directory, exported it… still the old version 6.10.04 opens each time I start root! echo $ROOTSYS returns the new path though! I even removed the old build (also $ROOTSYS) directory completely… the old version won’t go away! I removed the whole root directory, including the newly unpacked… everything is gone… still from somewhere the 6.20 opens up! How is this happening… Can you please help me completely purge ROOT out of my system so that I can start over.

What do you get from “which root” and “which root.exe

BTW. You should NOT manually set “ROOTSYS”. Follow the “Using binaries” instructions.

I get:

/usr/local/bin/root
/usr/local/bin/root.exe

@axel I’m not sure if there is any “uninstall” target now.

Previously, in the build directory, there could be an “install_manifest.txt” file which you could then use: xargs rm < install_manifest.txt

I also see:

~$ whereis root
root: /usr/local/bin/root.exe /usr/local/bin/root /usr/local/etc/root.desktop /usr/local/etc/root.mimes

should I just delete these files?

Following your answer from another thread:

sudo apt-get purge root-system* root-plugin* libroot*

Just removed /usr/local/bin/root and it was gone, unpacked binaries and everything is working well now. I can see GDML now :slight_smile:

Thanks!

install_manifest.txt should only be generated by make install.

I installed using make install, but I removed all root through rm -rf so probably lost that file! But, when whereis root returned /usr/local/bin, I removed them too and so got rid of all traces I guess. No I am using pre-compiled bianries as suggested by Wile_E_Coyote.

With the precompiled bianries, I am facing now this kind of problem. In my case the error is:

Following this thread I changed LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$ROOTSYS/lib to LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ROOTSYS/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATHand exported… but the error remains.

So, you’ve got a real mess and I don’t have any easy solution.

Maybe @Axel can provide you with an appropriate full “install_manifest.txt” file for exactly the ROOT version that you built and installed (which you unfortunately deleted together with your “<builddir>”).

Otherwise, I think the only way would be to configure and build your original ROOT version (i.e. exactly the same version that you previously built and installed) from scratch again, using “cmake -Dall=ON ...”, and then execute “make install”. This will again create the “install_manifest.txt” file, which you can then use in order to remove all installed files: “sudo xargs rm < install_manifest.txt

I was actually doing that… right now make -j8 is at 73%… but of course some hundreds of lines of 73% … it will take a while…

I would like to see if this freshly made install (my original version) works OK… with GDML etc… then I am going to keep it… otherwise “ sudo xargs rm < install_manifest.txt ”.

But you do understand that the first answer to any problems will be … upgrade your ROOT version.

I actually have no idea how that happened! I install root through cmake and in other machines I have kept multiple versions and switch among them.

By the way, while make-ing this time, in the end… this happened:

What Waiting for unfinished jobs it is talking about? My MySQL shell is open, could this be the reason? I was not doing anything else though… just importing some DB to my MySQL server and a shell was open.

Attaching the CMakeCache: CMakeCache_20-05-06_02-13-54.txt (156.3 KB)

I assume, on these another machines you didn’t execute “make install” (i.e. ROOT was used from the directory in which it was built) or you installed each version is another directory.

No idea what happened now but for me, “-j8” assumes that you have at least 16 GB memory (RAM + swap), otherwise building it will die. Also, maybe your disk is full (note: something like 6 GB may be needed).

I have 16GB (used 3.2GB) + 500MB swap, I have been using -j8 on this laptop regularly though. Also that partition where I am installing ROOT, has 61GB free space.
