Strange behavior of graphic display with latest OS X

ROOT
41

What do you get if you simply try to open a TCanvas form command line … ? the same error ?

42

Case 1.

root [] TCanvas c
(TCanvas &) Name: c1 Title: c1

Case 2.

root [] TCanvas *d = new TCanvas("d", "d", 400, 400)
(TCanvas *) 0x7f8857f603a0

Case 3.

root [0] TCanvas *c
(TCanvas *) nullptr
root [1] c = new TCanvas("c", "c", 400, 400)

(TCanvas *) 0x7ff13e11db80

Case 4.

root [7] TCanvas *n
(TCanvas *) nullptr
root [8] n = new TCanvas("n", "n")
(TCanvas *) 0x7ff13e18b530

43

Well, Case 4. seems a bug. Because when I relaunch root and do it again, I get the problem again:

root [0] TCanvas *n
(TCanvas *) nullptr
root [1] n = new TCanvas("n", "n")
Warning in TFile::Init: no StreamerInfo found in /usr/local/Cellar/root6/6.08.02/lib/root/libGQuartz_rdict.pcm therefore preventing schema evolution when reading this file.

I do not see this problem:

You are using x11?

And noticed that the

/usr/local/Cellar/root6/6.08.02/lib/root/

in the warning and error is my old root location(But I have done “source” command!!).

46

Yes I did the test with the X11 version.
Its seems your installation is mixed with an old version of ROOT …
After the “source” command can you check what is the value of $ROOTSYS. Does it point to the right place ?

47 
YideMacBook-Pro:root6_build yitao$ which root
/Users/yitao/programs/root6_v6.08.06/root6_build/bin/root
YideMacBook-Pro:root6_build yitao$ cd $ROOTSYS 
YideMacBook-Pro:root6_build yitao$ pwd
/Users/yitao/programs/root6_v6.08.06/root6_build
YideMacBook-Pro:root6_build yitao$

It’s indeed the new version.

But it seems wrong in the .bash_profile file:

export ROOTSYS=/usr/local/bin/root 
. $(brew --prefix root6)/libexec/thisroot.sh

How to modify it?

48

do the right source command in the .bash_profile file

49

Thanks Olivier!

I change the $ROOTSYS both in ~/.bashrc and ~/.bash_profile, and after relaunching the terminal(This is necessary, because I thought it still didn’t work before relaunching), now it works!!!

Thank you so much!

That’s good news :slight_smile:
