libRIO.dll not found but libRIO.so exists

ROOT

I am trying to run root with a virtual reconstruction package but it displays a ‘file not found’ error. I have checked the /root/lib directory and find libRIO.so, which is expected, but ROOT still asks for the libRIO.dll file. Similarly, libEdr.so and libEDA.so exist but still throw an error. I have checked my paths and they lead to the lib folder correctly. I have tried rebuilding ROOT within the container but the same issue appears.

I am running ROOT 5.34.38 in a Docker container with Ubuntu 20.04 and Windows 10 Home 19041 as the host platform. Builddir is the root directory in which I built with cmake.

Hello, and welcome to the ROOT forum!

Am I assuming correctly that ROOT is started here as part of another package? If you can run just root -l without errors, the problem might rather be with the reconstruction package than with ROOT.

Please note that ROOT 5.34 is very old. If possible, consider upgrading to ROOT 6.

Perhaps @Axel has more suggestions?

Cheers,
Jakob

And make sure that you set up ROOT before: source wherever-ROOT-is-installed/bin/thisroot.sh

By set-up, do you mean set the paths and environment variables before running thisroot.sh? I ran thisroot.sh immediately after building ROOT and before installing the reconstruction package.

Sorry for dropping this!

When you start a new terminal, and before starting root, you need to run wherever-ROOT-is-installed/bin/thisroot.sh. Does that fix it?

Cheers, Axel.
