ROOT Installation Unsuccessful bin/thisroot.csh (Newbie)

ROOT
1

Hi all,

I am trying to install ROOT v6.02.03 on my Mac Yosemite 10.10. I made through everything except the last step, and it just could not finish.

After ROOT is built successful,I try to run

It gives me,

-bash: bin/thisroot.csh: line 15: syntax error near unexpected token `(' -bash: bin/thisroot.csh: line 15: `set ARGS=($_)’

I am not sure whether it is because I cannot add bin/ to PATH and lib/ to LD_LIBRARY_PATH. I tried but the computer told me I do not have permission to edit .bash_profile

So I basically got stuck over there.

If there is any solution please comment below. Thank you so much.

Hi Xiaocheng,

try using

The .csh file is to be used with the c-shell, while you use the bash shell. The line you copy&pasted with its [c]sh is a short notation for using either thisroot.csh or thisroot.sh, depending on you environment.

btw - on MAC the equivalent of LD_LIBRARY_PATH is called DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Cheers,
Benedikt
