Root Crashes when trying to run CORSIKA compiled file

[ms_geo]

Hello everyone!
I want to use REAS so I need CORSIKA output file that is created with ROOT and COAST option enabled.
I’ve installed ROOT and it runs without problem. COAST also installed perfectly.
corsika is working fine and I’m able to compile corsika file under COAST option.
now when I want to run CORSIKA output file the problem appears.
I don’t know exactly what is the problem and have no idea what should I do!
may you please help me?
Thanks!

OS: Ubuntu 12.10
COAST : v5r2
ROOT: v5.34.05
REAS: 3.1

here is the terminal output of the problem when I run CORSIKA compiled file:

*** Break *** segmentation violation

Thanks for your quick reply.
OK…now what does it say?
(i used valgrind without [–show-reachable=yes] [–num-callers=50] because it becomes way too long that the page crashes if I try to post it here!)

I think your source code needs to be compiled with the debug option (e.g. “-g”) in order to get it really usable with the debugger / valgrind.

Well, judging from your output, I would check:

TPlotter.cc: around line 159 (in the TPlotter constructor)
THRadioInterface.cc: around line 36
THRadioInterface.cc: around line 136

It seems to me that it has something to do with a a null (or an uninitialized / invalid) reference being used while doing a copy of a “std::string” (in the TPlotter constructor).
