Proof-Lite on MAC OSX Snow Leopard

ROOT
1

I have compiled root v5.26B on Snow Leopard MacBook with this options:

./configure macosx64 --enable-ruby --enable-minuit2 --enable-roofit --enable-pythia6 --enable-pythia8 --enable-fftw3 --enable-mathmore --enable-memstat --enable-tmva --enable-unuran --with-pythia6-libdir=/Users/dario/software/pythia6 --with-pythia8-libdir=/Users/dario/software/pythia8135/lib --with-fftw3-incdir=/opt/include/include --with-fftw3-libdir=/opt/local/lib --with-g4-incdir=/Users/dario/software/GEANT4/geant4.9.3.p01/include --with-g4-libdir=/Users/dario/software/GEANT4/geant4.9.3.p01/lib/Darwin-g++ --with-clhep-incdir=/Users/dario/software/CLHEP/include --with-gsl-incdir=/opt/local/include --with-gsl-libdir=/opt/local/lib --with-f77=/opt/local/bin/gfortran-mp-4.5

Then I try to start PROOF-Lite :

<Dario.Moricciani@net-93-149-207-84:~/pippo> root -l
root [0] p = TProof::Open("")
+++ Starting PROOF-Lite with 2 workers +++
<Dario.Moricciani@net-93-149-207-84:~/pippo>

I it exit directly …

Please anyone can help me ?

Best Regards

Dear Dario,

This problem with the temporary directory under Mac Os X was fixed in the trunk and ported to 5.26/00c .
The work around for previous versions is exactly what you did.
