Interactive root (6.28, x86_64-el9-gcc11-opt) cannot find modules

ROOT Version: 6.28
Platform: x86_64 el9
Compiler: gcc11

Dear All,

I am trying to use root version 6.28.04 from lcg on a machine with RH9

(kernel 5.14, gcc11). Then the interactive root command produces several screens
of output saying that it cannot load many modules.

Namely, I am defining root as follows:

export ROOTSYS=/cvmfs/sft.cern.ch/lcg/releases/ROOT/6.28.04-740f6/x86_64-el9-gcc11-opt
source ${ROOTSYS}/bin/thisroot.sh
The first few lines of the error messages produced at the attempt to use the interactive root are given below (the full output has >200 lines)

Am I doing something stupid? (most probably yes). Please, could someone explain

how to do it right?

Many thanks in advance,
        Yuri

Welcome to the ROOT Forum!
I’m not familiar with ROOT from cvmfs , maybe @Danilo or @jblomer can help
Or maybe this post can help: 'TUnfold.h' file not found - #7 by jonas

Using the setup script from cvmfs (instead of ROOT’s thisroot), as @bellenot suggested, should do the trick. Guessing from the attempt with thisroot.sh, it seems to be a bash environment, so

source /cvmfs/sft.cern.ch/lcg/views/LCG_105/x86_64-el9-gcc11-opt/setup.sh

(instead of setup.csh) is applicable. The LCG setup script takes care not only of the ROOT environment (ROOTSYS etc.) but also of the environment of all the dependencies of ROOT, e.g. the compiler.
