Im following the instrution in the README file. I try to thisroot.sh but I get this error -
“thisroot.sh: 31: thisroot.sh: Bad substitution”
what to do from here? when i try to run with bash I get -
“thisroot.sh: line 33: ${(%):-%N}: bad substitution”
Hi,
can you post a copy-paste of your terminal when you do
$ cd path/to/your/root/installation
$ source bin/thisroot.sh
...output...
?
Cheers,
Enrico
theres no output. but here is the file:
# Source this script to set up the ROOT build that this script is part of.
#
# Conveniently an alias like this can be defined in .bashrc:
# alias thisroot=". bin/thisroot.sh"
#
# This script if for the bash like shells, see thisroot.csh for csh like shells.

Hi,
yes thisroot.sh is in the repository and has no known bugs – all developers use it daily.
If executing the two commands I wrote in my last post results in no output, it means everything is ok. ROOT should be now among your executables, you can check by doing:
$ cd path/to/your/root/installation
$ source bin/thisroot.sh
$ root
from bash, which should start a root prompt. If it doesn’t please reply with a copy-paste of what happens in your terminal when you execute the commands above.
yes it seems to be installed now and the path variables were updated.
