Root problem every Mac OS update

[bonivent]

_
Hi whenever I update my MAC OS version I need to reinstall CommandLineTools the command xcode-select --install otherwise root crashes. (this is already quite weird but I found a way out).
Now with the latest update yesterday to BigSur 11.3 the same problem arises (I…e. the root command crashes) but
xcode-select --install
xcode-select: error: command line tools are already installed, use “Software Update” to install updates
and

you can see the dump below
please suggest something.
cheers

Hi @bonivent,

I have almost no experience with ROOT on OS X. However, I think (but I might be perfectly wrong) that this may be triggered due to out-of-sync modules w.r.t. the system headers. I am sure @Axel or @vvassilev could provide you more information about this.

In the interim, you could try this to see if it helps.

Cheers,
J.

I just installed OSX 11.3 on my MacBook. Then I recompiled ROOT. All is fine.

This might be caused by the new (and changing) location of the macOS SDKs. Using v6.24/00 should help - we should have covered that problem also for future updates. Can you give that a try?

Then I recompiled ROOT. All is fine.

For a developer, that’s a reasonable approach. For users, applications ought to continue to work also after an OS upgrade, no?
