Hey folks! There’s a problem I really am getting insane about. Being a complete sourcecode newbie, I got managed to install ROOT on OS X 10.6. It works (at least it seems to). But there’s one issue that remains, which is that python simply won’t load the ROOT module. The problem itself is that I j…

Hi, I’m not a mac expert, but one thing caught my eye: [quote=“BakersCookies”]>>> import ROOT it responds with Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ImportError: No module named root [/quote] Did you cut and paste the command and error messages? Are you sure …

Hey there and thanks for the fast answer. That was my bad. I did type in “root”, not “ROOT”.

In the installation instructions for PyROOT it says: Does anyone know where those two files are on mac os x? Maybe that would help me already.

Hi, but did you afterwards try “import ROOT” as well? As for the location of the include and lib dirs, they’ll be located automatically by the configure script if you have the python version that you’re interested in upfront in your PATH. Cheers, Wim

Yup, I did. So installing PyROOT is basically simply cd root (my directory for root) ./configure make make install export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ROOTSYS/lib:$PYTHONDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH export PYTHONPATH=$ROOTSYS/lib:$PYTHONPATH That should basically be it, right? Did I miss something?

That’s pretty much it, except that I don’t add $PYTHONDIR/lib on my Mac (but I don’t have a local install under /Library either; I do have additional fink pythons under /opt). Cheers, Wim

Maybe I should try installing ROOT location independently. How do I do the following? Add bin/ to PATH and lib/ to LD_LIBRARY_PATH. For the sh shell family do: . bin/thisroot.sh and for the csh shell family do: source bin/thisroot.csh

As it says source the script in the ROOT installation directory. Cheers, Wim

everything fine, but terminal gives me following error: source bin/thisroot.csh -bash: bin/thisroot.csh: line 15: syntax error near unexpected token `(' -bash: bin/thisroot.csh: line 15: `set ARGS=($_)' is that a sourcecode mistake? or mine? EDIT: A friend advised me to switch to the ROOT dir an…

Hi, as the instructions state, for bash one should use “bin/thisroot.sh” and not “bin/thisroot.csh” which of course will give an error, since the syntax for the csh family of shells is different. As for the dlopen error, it looks like there’s a mix of 32-bit python with 64-bit pyroot (or vice-vers…
