Problem running ROOT 5.27.06 on lxplus [RESOLVED]

ROOT

Hi,

I am trying to setup ROOT 5.27.06 (need the latest RooFit) on lxplus as it says in this documentation page, and run into weird problems:

http://root.cern.ch/drupal/content/development-version-52706

My default shell is bash. I setup the environment by doing

[lxplus304] /afs/cern.ch/user/k/kukartse >  uname -a
Linux lxplus304.cern.ch 2.6.18-194.11.3.el5.cve20103081 #1 SMP Thu Sep 16 15:17:10 CEST 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

. /afs/cern.ch/sw/lcg/contrib/gcc/4.3/x86_64-slc5/setup.sh

. /afs/cern.ch/sw/lcg/app/releases/ROOT/5.27.06/x86_64-slc5-gcc43-opt/root/bin/thisroot.sh

export PATH=/afs/cern.ch/sw/lcg/contrib/gcc/4.3.2/x86_64-slc5-gcc34-opt/bin:${PATH}

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/afs/cern.ch/sw/lcg/contrib/gcc/4.3.2/x86_64-slc5-gcc34-opt/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}

Now I have these PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PYTHONPATH:

[lxplus304] /afs/cern.ch/user/k/kukartse > echo $PATH

I now try to run root and get

[lxplus304] /afs/cern.ch/user/k/kukartse > root -l

I check that I run the right root just in case:

[lxplus304] /afs/cern.ch/user/k/kukartse > which root

/afs/cern.ch/sw/lcg/app/releases/ROOT/5.27.06/x86_64-slc5-gcc43-opt/root/bin/root

Basically, it tries to load libstdc++.so.6 from the system area no matter what I do. I have even tried to set LD_PRELOAD, and it says it cannot load from there. I’ve checked setuid/setgid, and they are not set, so it should pick up from LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Any ideas what am I doing wrong?

Also, a friend of mine has tcsh as default and he configured successfully but even then it segfaults if he tries to run a pyROOT script, basically at the “import ROOT” statement

Hi,

the lib path that you add to LD_LIBRARY_PATH isn’t the correct one. Use:

/afs/cern.ch/sw/lcg/contrib/gcc/4.3.2/x86_64-slc5-gcc34-opt/lib64

instead (note the last dir is lib64, not lib).

Cheers,
Wim

Yep, that did it. Thanks again, Wim.
