Seg Fault using SetLogy in GUI v3.10/00

ROOT
1

Hello all,
I’m running 3.10/00 on RH 8. I always get a seg fault when drawing the histo “K0vXsq” from the attached file and setting and unsetting SetLogy in the graphical TCanvas menu. Here are my steps:

  1. Draw the histo “K0vXsq”
  2. Right click on canvas and SetLogy
  3. Right click again and unset SetLogy

Below is the backtrace:

*** Break *** segmentation violation

I have also checked on 3.05/05 with the same file and there is no seg fault there. Is this reproducible for others?

Thanks,

This problem had been solved in 3.10/01

I have just downloaded and tried it on 3.10/01 and the behavior is the same as on 3.10/00. Are you unable to reproduce this with the attached file on 3.10/01?

Dan,

I cannot reproduce the problem switching between/lin/log scale along Y
for the histogram you indicated. May be you are following a different
sequence of actions? Let me know.

I went through again and did exactly as I said in the 1st post. I got a seg fault 8 out of 10 tries. I am using the precomplied RH 7.3 binaries for gcc 3.2 on a vanilla RH 8. Maybe there’s a conflict between the RH 7.3 binaries and RH 8?

I compiled ROOT from source and the problem is gone now. It must be an RH 8 imcompatibility issue with the RH 7.3 binaries.
