Hello,
I am trying to run a ROOT macro on LCG using Ganga. It works okay if I use ROOT v5.14.00h, but if I try to use v5.16.00 the job never starts, seemingly because the unpacking of the ROOT tarball fails.
In the stderr returned by Ganga, the error is:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “./rootwrapper_generated_JFZNKW.py”, line 83, in ?
downloadAndUnTar(fname,url)
File “./rootwrapper_generated_JFZNKW.py”, line 8, in downloadAndUnTar

raise HTTPError(req.get_full_url(), code, msg, hdrs, fp)
urllib2.HTTPError: HTTP Error 404: Not Found
While in stdout, there is only
Downloading ROOT version 5.16.00 from service-spi.web.cern.ch/service- … 323.tar.gz.
where normally you would have the above line, then the ROOT splash screen, then the output that the macro writes to the screen. So it appears that ROOT never starts.
Does anyone know if there is a problem with the tarball given above? Or is the problem coming from somewhere else?
Thanks,
Laurence
