Problems during manual install of ROOT with the pythia6 and pythia8 add-ons

PBR · February 27, 2021, 6:34pm

Hello,

I am trying to build a version of ROOT with the pythia modules turned on, following the recipe given here, but with no success, so far.

I have fetched the latest stable version from the website, root-6.22.06, and managed to successfully go through the first “pythia-less” build step called for in the above recipe. At this stage the installed version of ROOT works as expected.

Next, I have generated the pythia 6 and 8 shared libraries and verified that they are referenced in the cache:

$ sudo /sbin/ldconfig -p|grep -in ythia
275:	libpythia8.so (libc6,x86-64) => /home/pbr/root_install3/pythia8186/lib/libpythia8.so
464:	liblhapdfdummy.so (libc6,x86-64) => /home/pbr/root_install3/pythia8186/lib/liblhapdfdummy.so
1010:	libPythia6.so (libc6,x86-64) => /home/pbr/root_install3/pythia6428/libPythia6.so

When I try the next CMake iteration called for in the recipe…

$ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/pbr/root_install3/root-install -DPYTHIA8_DIR=$PYTHIA8 -DPYTHIA8_INCLUDE_DIR=$PYTHIA8/include -DPYTHIA8_LIBRARY=$PYTHIA8/lib/libpythia8.so -DPYTHIA6_LIBRARY=$PYTHIA6/libPythia6.so -DGSL_DIR=/usr -Dpythia8=ON -Dpythia6=ON ../root-sources

…I run into troubles and get a completely broken installed version of the software:

In my system the gsl headers are at the following location: /usr/include/gsl

Any ideas of what I can try to fix it?

Thanks. -Pietro

PS: The directory structure for the install is:

root directory: /home/pbr/root_install3
$ls ~/root_install3
drwxr-xr-x pythia6428
drwxr-xr-x pythia8186
lrwxrwxrwx root-6.22.06 -> root-sources
drwxr-xr-x root-build
drwxr-xr-x root-install
drwxr-xr-x root-sources

The commands I gave to do the install are:

cd /home/pbr/root_install3
cd root-build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/pbr/root_install3/root-install ../root-sources
cmake --build . --target install -- -j 1
export ROOTSYS=/home/pbr/root_install3/root-build
export PYTHIA6=/home/pbr/root_install3/pythia6428

I don’t understand why you build in two steps. Doing this should work:

cd /home/pbr/root_install3
cd root-build
export PYTHIA6=/home/pbr/root_install3/pythia6428
export PYTHIA8=/home/pbr/root_install3/pythia8186
export PYTHIA8DATA=$PYTHIA8/xmldoc
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/pbr/root_install3/root-install -DPYTHIA8_DIR=$PYTHIA8 -DPYTHIA8_INCLUDE_DIR=$PYTHIA8/include -DPYTHIA8_LIBRARY=$PYTHIA8/lib/libpythia8.so -DPYTHIA6_LIBRARY=$PYTHIA6/libPythia6.so -DGSL_DIR=/usr -Dpythia8=ON -Dpythia6=ON ../root-sources
cmake --build . --target install -- -j 1

But anyway, it should work nevertheless. What I don’t understand is that the error is related to GenVector… Could you try again from scratch with what I suggested above?

PBR · February 28, 2021, 2:45am

It worked! Thank you.

Just two more questions:

(while on the subject) how do you force CMake to generate a manual install of ROOT with debug symbols?
I checked the current install with the pythia8.C, pythiaExample.C
and pythia_display.C from the tutorials and they run fine, however pythia_display8.C from the same source generates errors (pls. see below), am I still missing anything?

Add -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug See the CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE — CMake 3.28.1 Documentation

EDIT: Sorry, but where is pythia_display8.C coming from?

PBR · February 28, 2021, 2:34pm

The pythia_display8.C is a spurious file that was not part of the official distribution, so never mind, I am all set.

Thanks!
