Couldn’t find font “-adobe-helvetica-medium-r---10-----*-iso8859-1”,
trying “fixed”. Please fix your system so helvetica can be found,
this font typically is in the rpm (or pkg equivalent) package

/usr/local/bin/root.exe: error while loading shared libraries: libCore.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Could you please tell me what is wrong? or What am I missing?

Hi,

libCore.so is probably not in any of the directories listed in LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Try to run the script thisroot.sh first with this command (prefix is the location you picked for ROOT, default /usr/local:

If it works add this line to the file .bashrc

Hello,
I am having the same problem that is described above. I am using Red Hat x86_64. I installed ROOT but I am having problems running it. Here is the error message:
/usr/local/bin/root.exe: error while loading shared libraries: libCore.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I did try running thisroot.sh script:
[/home/name/root/root]# sh /usr/local/bin/thisroot.sh

I also added this line in my .bashrc:
. </home/name/root/root>/usr/local/bin/thisroot.sh

I the above command written in .bashrc correct?

Even after doing the above, I get the same error message when I try to run ROOT:
/usr/local/bin/root.exe: error while loading shared libraries: libCore.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Can you help?

If your ROOT resides in “/usr/local”, use:
. /usr/local/bin/thisroot.sh
If your ROOT resides in “/home/name/root/root”, use:
. /home/name/root/root/bin/thisroot.sh
