Hello,
I installed ROOT using the following commands :
wget https://root.cern.ch/download/root_v5.34.30.source.tar.gz
tar -xzvf root_v5.34.30.source.tar.gz
mv root root-5.34.30 && cd root-5.34.30
export PYTHON=$LOCATION/python/2.7.0/bin/python
./configure --prefix=$LOCATION/root/5.34.30/ \
--with-pythia6-libdir=$LOCATION/pythia/6.4.28/lib \
--disable-pythia8 \
--with-python-incdir=$PYTHON/include \
--with-python-libdir=$PYTHON/lib
make -j
make -j install
After checking root was starting and everything fine and I could run it
Then I ran some codes and I noticed this error message:
[quote]Fatal in TVirtualStreamerInfo::Factory: Cannot find the plugin handler for TVirtualStreamerInfo! $ROOTSYS/etc/plugins/TVirtualStreamerInfo does not exist or is inaccessible.
aborting
Error in TUnixSystem::StackTrace script /etc/root/gdb-backtrace.sh is missing
make: *** [phast-try] Abandon
[/quote]
I redid the root installation and I noticed an error during the installation. I’m neither on lxplus nor administrator, that’s why I used --prefix
[code]meyer1@h2ologin1:$LOCATION/root/root-5.34.30> make -j install

Did I do something wrong maybe I missed one variable to set for using root to an non-standard location ?

PS: I replaced the absolute paths by the variable “$LOCATION” in the quoted lines
