HI experts,

Hi,

this looks like a ROOT file written with ROOT 6.18 or newer was opened with an older ROOT version. Could you check?

Hi expert,
I generated the root file and read it in cern lxplus, so I think the root must be same version.
When I generated the root file, it had a warning: Warning in TClass::Init: no dictionary for class ROOT::TIOFeatures is available. Can u give me some instructions?

If any of your original ROOT files (for which you get the “TIOFeatures” warning) come from one of these versions then you’ll run into problems:

BTW. There are many different ROOT versions accessible on lxplus so you really need to know / check which one was used for what.

Yes, I agree! From python e.g.
print (ROOT.__version__)
