ROOT Tutorials error with "eve"

Hello, I have install ROOT on my Linux Mint 17

I have opend the directory under tutorials and I have been accessing individual *.C files for interest

It seems that most of the files in the directory “eve” causes root to crash on my machine

This is a sample:

root [8] .x eve/boxset.C

I have installed ROOT myself and compiled instructions that I’ve been using here:
forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=170960

I was wondering if I didn’t compile or set up my ROOT properly. I am still at a very basic level of programming with root and I haven’t yet crashed root in anything else

The line below makes me wonder if it’s because the files are inaccessible locally

TEveManager::GetGeometry loading: ‘http://root.cern.ch/files/alice.root’ -> ‘http://root.cern.ch/files/alice.root’.
Info in TGeoManager::Import: Reading geometry from file: root.cern.ch/files/alice.root
Warning in TFile::OpenFromCache: you want to read through a cache, but you have no valid cache directory set - reading remotely

Could someone tell me if it’s expected or if there’s a fix to it?

Thank you for your time

which version ?

It is currently Cinnamon 2.2.13

I meant which ROOT version did you installed …

I have installed root 5.34

Try cd-ing into tutorials/eve/.

Also, it might help to run each tutorial independently, quitting root between tutorials (especially the complex ones).

Thank you, that solved the problem.
