I want to connect to files stored at CERN from my personal laptop. To that end, I’ve been trying to follow these outdated-looking instructions to setup xrootd to work with my root installation to no avail. If I do root-config --has-xrootd
, I get no
back. If I follow the instructions linked above, the make fails. If I do the modern cmake
, the build completes, but I still have no xrootd.
If I do root -l "root://eoslhcb.cern.ch/<path/to/file/>DVnTuples.root"
, I get:

I am not sure what the problem is.
