ROOTCINT aborts ... no error messages

ROOT
1

Dear ROOT experts,

“My” ROOTCINT does not work anymore. It aborts without any obvious error messages, the most I could get is displayed below.

I understand if you can’t determine what is wrong exactly, but maybe someone could tell me how to attack this problem??

Many thanks in advance,

Ytsen.

Hi,

try to re-run “make cintdlls”. Does that help?

Axel.

Unfortunately not (I cannot find the string cintdlls in any makefile either by the way.)

Nor have I write permission in the root directories.

The rootcint used to work on this system.

Any hints on where I should start investigating would be very much appreciated!

Cheers,

Ytsen.

Hi,

It’s in cint/cintdlls.mk.

OK, that makes it easy to debug. If you don’t have write access to your root installation then you didn’t break it. So if it used to work, and assuming that none of your admins messed up root, then it’s the system itself. Check with your admins - they must have installed a new glibc or binutils or something, and they forgot to update root.

Cheers, Axel.
