How to run the tutorials

ROOT
21

I run on Mac OS 10.6.7
I have xcode installed and also xquartz

regarding your question, I’m not sure about that too I dont how ROOTSYS ended up in /Users/appleapple/root/ROOTSYS/bin,
in /root/bin, there isn’t a “root.exe” file

here is the screenshot of the things you told me to do

Well, “ldd” is a *nix tool, MacOSX provides “otool” …

Try (inspect absolute paths of all libraries reported by “otool -L”):
root-config --bindir
otool -L root-config --bindir/root
otool -L root-config --bindir/root.exe
root-config --libdir
otool -L root-config --libdir/libTree.so
root-config --etcdir

Well, maybe you could try to build your ROOT from scratch again … [code]cd
rm -rf v5-34-00-patches
svn co http://root.cern.ch/svn/root/branches/v5-34-00-patches
cd v5-34-00-patches
unset ROOTSYS
./configure --all
make

cd
source ~/v5-34-00-patches/bin/thisroot.sh
root[/code]

P.S. Instead of screenshots, simply do copy / paste of the text that is displayed in the terminal.

Thanks I’m going to try and rebuild root, should I delete the root file I currently have just leaving ROOTSYS file

If you follow my “prescription” (i.e. use copy / paste to run all commands one by one), you will have your new ROOT in a new “/Users/appleapple/v5-34-00-patches” subdirectory (no need to “destroy” anything “old” then).

thank you very much I will let you know if it works.
