Segmentation fauld on TChain::Add()

[Adam_Hunyadi]

Hey there,

I’m running a root program with the following lines of code:

86   TChain* clustChain  = new TChain("clustTree", "List of the clusters.");
87   std::cout << __LINE__ << std::endl;
88   clustChain -> Add("/data_ssd_120gb/hunyadi/CMSSW/SplitClusterStudy_2016_11_14/CMSSW_8_0_18/src/NtuplizerJob/Ntuple_scs.root");
89   std::cout << __LINE__ << std::endl;

Which results a segmentation fault after printing 87:

Is there something I’m doing wrong? The program runs on a different disk that where the data is located, can this be a problem? I tested the same lines in root prompt and had no problems there.

Cheers,
Adam

Something looks odd … You code call TChain::Add but the stack trace shows TChain::AddFileInfoList …
It is plausible that you have a setup problem (compiling against the header from one version of ROOT and linking against library of another version of ROOT).

Ah, I see. I’ll make sure to check that, I work with multiple root versions and gcc versions at once. Thanks.
