ROOT 6 Mavericks crashes

ROOT
1

Hi all,

My current version of ROOT is 5.34/23 and it works fine but I want to install ROOT6 in OS mavericks, it compiles fine but when I run it crashes with the following error (see below)
Does anyone have to deal with this issue?

Thanks
Aaron H

Hi,
Interesting. It crashes when expanding a filename, which may include environment variables. Can you please attach your full environment ($ env > environment.txt )
Thanks,

Pere

Hi,

Here is the environment output attached,

Thanks
env.txt (1.58 KB)

The environment looks fine. Do you have a ~/.rootlogon.C or rootlogon.C in your current directory? I am interested to know what is the value of the key “Rint.Logon”".

Hi,

It seems that the problem was my rootlogon.C indeed, what I did is remove the rootlogon.C from .rootrc
my rootlogon.C file was like this (below). Something there was causing the crash. Why?

{
//gStyle->SetOptStat(0);
gStyle->SetLineWidth(2);
gStyle->SetFrameLineWidth(2);
gStyle->SetLineColor(1);
gStyle->SetHistLineWidth(2);
gStyle->SetHistLineColor(1);
gStyle->SetTitleSize(0.05,“x”);
gStyle->SetTitleOffset(0.95,“x”);
gStyle->SetTitleOffset(0.90,“y”);
gStyle->SetTitleSize(0.05,“y”);
gStyle->SetTitleSize(0.05,“z”);
gStyle->SetLabelSize(0.05,“x”);
gStyle->SetLabelSize(0.05,“y”);
gStyle->SetLabelSize(0.05,“z”);
gStyle->SetMarkerStyle(20);
gStyle->SetMarkerSize(1.0);
gROOT->ForceStyle();

}

I don’t think the problem is with the rootlogon.C itself, but the ‘address’ of it. What is [was] the value for the key Rint.Logon in your .rootrc ?

Hi

Rint.Logon: ~/.rootlogon.C
where
$ echo ~/.rootlogon.C
/Users/higuera/.rootlogon.C
