Problem installing proof

ROOT
1

I’ve installed ROOT 5.26 on opensuse with these options:

./configure --enable-soversion --enable-rpath --prefix=/usr/local --enable-python --enable-xml --enable-ruby --enable-explicitlink --enable-qt --with-python-incdir=/usr/include/python2.6/ --with-python-libdir=/usr/lib64/ --with-ruby-libdir=/usr/lib64/ --with-ruby-incdir=/usr/lib64/ruby/1.8/x86_64-linux/

it compiles, but when installing I got:

Installing binaries in /usr/local/bin
cp: impossibile creare il file normale `/usr/local/bin/rootd': Text file busy

it means the it cannot create the normal text ...

ROOT works but

root [0] p = TProof::Open("")
 +++ Starting PROOF-Lite with 2 workers +++
Opening connections to workers: OK (2 workers)
/usr/local/bin/proofserv: line 77: /bin/proofserv.exe: No such file or directory

Personally I wouldn’t recommend pointing prefix to “/usr/local”.

Have you installed ROOT in this location before?

Please check, that there is no running processes, like: xrootd, rootd, and proofserv currently in your system.

why not? I think this is the standard place to install application for all users. Furthermore it’s the default of ROOT installation: from ./configure --help

   FLAG            DESCRIPTION               DEFAULT
...
   --prefix        Installation prefix       (/usr/local)

Ok, I’ve killed rootd and the installation works, but the problem with proof is the same:

root [0] TProof::Open("")
 +++ Starting PROOF-Lite with 2 workers +++
Opening connections to workers: OK (2 workers)
/usr/local/bin/proofserv: line 77: /bin/proofserv.exe: No such file or directory
/usr/local/bin/proofserv: line 77: exec: /bin/proofserv.exe: cannot execute: No such file or directory
/usr/local/bin/proofserv: line 77: /bin/proofserv.exe: No such file or directory
/usr/local/bin/proofserv: line 77: exec: /bin/proofserv.exe: cannot execute: No such file or directory
PROOF set to sequential mode
(class TProof*)0xc04df0

the problem is that proofserv is installed in /usr/local/bin/proofserv.exe and not in /usr/bin/proofserv.exe. Of course, I can copy manually or create a link but I prefer that someone fix this problem with the installation

This is exactly the reason why :unamused:

Also, I, personally, prefere to play with several versions of ROOT on the same system. This is a bit difficult if all of them are installed with a prefix pointing to “/usr/local” for all of them.

I suspect that either you’ve just wrongly overwritten some previously installed version of ROOT or your environment settings are damaged.

I would propose a clean reinstall with the complete removal of the ROOT.

Maybe some ROOT experts could clarify more on this issue. For me it looks like a messed up environment.
