Hi All,
I am attempting to update my ROOT install to the newest production version and receive the error:
/usr/lib/libtiff.so: error adding symbols: File in wrong format
This is the only error in the compilation as all other pieces compile correctly. I have been digging online and guess it might be a 32-bit vs 64-bit issue, but am not sure. Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!
I believe it is 32 because there is an alternate libtiff in /usr/lib64/, however I do not know where/how to tell ROOT to compile with that library.
Hi,
can you install the 64bits version of that library?
Did you use CMake to configure ROOT, right?
Cheers,
D
Can you please provide more precise information? For example, this is what is on my own system:
$ file /usr/lib/libtiff.so
/usr/lib/libtiff.so: symbolic link to libtiff.so.5.2.6
$ file /usr/lib/libtiff.so.5.2.6
/usr/lib/libtiff.so.5.2.6: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, stripped
Please paste here the equivalent for your system, as well as the configuration you have for ROOT (output of CMake configure phase). Without this information, there is very little we can do to help you.
Sure!
$ file /usr/lib/libtiff.so
/usr/lib/libtiff.so: symbolic link to libtiff.so.5.2.0
$ file /usr/lib/libtiff.so.5.2.0
/usr/lib/libtiff.so.5.2.0: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, BuildID[sha1]=a1302aa0f59eeaf014d5f09055411e9e4f8caeaa, stripped
I use cmake3 and the output is:

As you can see from your CMake output and libtiff you have, you are buiding ROOT for a 64bit system, but trying to link to a 32bit libtiff. That is why it is not working. You may be able to get things working by disabling libtiff support if you don’t care about it with -Dastiff=OFF. If you do care, you have to make CMake see your 64bit version of libtiff somewhere, presumably /usr/lib64. Let us know if you still have problems after trying the options above.
I’ve changed the file location in CMakeCache.text to lib64 and a new error occured:
No rule to make target/usr/lib64/libtiff.so’, needed by lib/libASImage.so'. Stop.
any suggestions?
Well, it seems that do not have it installed in /usr/lib64, so changing the CMakeCache is of no help. You have to have a 64bit version of libtiff installed. I would recommend turning off the tiff part with -Dastiff=OFF for now, then you’ll have a working ROOT while you try to understand what is the problem with your setup.
I figured it out. I had to change a line in CMakeCache.txt from
/usr/lib/libtiff.so
to
/usr/lib64/libtiff.so.5
Everything seems to compile fine now. Thanks for all of the help!
