X11 problem

wabashphysics · June 24, 2013, 3:22pm

Hi,

I am an undergraduate physics student who is new to ROOT and could use some help. After going through the ROOT installation, it seems that I have run into a problem and do not have any graphical output. I am able to run ROOT and the splashscreen even appears for a few seconds when I run it. However, when I try opening a file using TBrowser or TFile, this is what I get:

root [0] new TBrowser
(class TBrowser*)0x8e907a8
root [1] TFile * 0file = TFile::Open(“run-1202-00-mona.root”)
Fatal in TVirtualStreamerInfo::Factory: Cannot find the plugin handler for TVirtualStreamerInfo! However $ROOTSYS/etc/plugins/TVirtualStreamerInfo is accessible, Check the content of this directory!

Also, when I did the build commands, it tells me that libx11 is not installed even though it actually is. This is what I get:

I’m running Ubuntu 12.04 under a Oracle VM VirtualBox and have the latest version of ROOT. If anyone knows how to fix this problem, I’d greatly appreciate any help.

Thanks

I saw something similar to this a few days ago. The solution was to start over from scratch and make sure all the pre-reqs are installed from root.cern.ch/drupal/content/build-prerequisites

You said you’re on ubuntu 12.04 so:

   sudo apt-get install git dpkg-dev make g++ gcc binutils libx11-dev libxpm-dev \
        libxft-dev libxext-dev

and

  sudo apt-get install gfortran libssl-dev libpcre3-dev \
        xlibmesa-glu-dev libglew1.5-dev libftgl-dev \
        libmysqlclient-dev libfftw3-dev cfitsio-dev \
        graphviz-dev libavahi-compat-libdnssd-dev \
        libldap2-dev python-dev libxml2-dev libkrb5-dev \
        libgsl0-dev libqt4-dev

Then try “./configure --all” and see if that helps. Also if you used git to clone the source code, its easy to forget to switch to the production branch before building. If that’s the case you can see weird stuff. Do:

git status

It should output something similar to

# On branch v5-34-08

If it says “# On branch master” then you aren’t running the production version.

I’ve went back and installed all the pre-req packages. The /.configure --all and the install worked fine as well. However, when doing the next step of updating the ldconfig I get this:

physics@physics-VirtualBox:~/root-v5-34$ ldconfig
/sbin/ldconfig.real: Can’t create temporary cache file /etc/ld.so.cache~: Permission denied

Also, after I build ROOT, when I get:

============================================================
=== ROOT BUILD SUCCESSFUL. ===
=== Run ‘source bin/thisroot.[c]sh’ before starting ROOT ===

I do this command:
physics@physics-VirtualBox:~/root-v5-34$ . bin/thisroot.sh
but get nothing in return.

The graphical problem when running ROOT still persists as well.

wabashphysics · June 25, 2013, 7:22pm

Also, it still thinks libx11 is not installed even though I installed every single package on the list available

Open a new “xterm” / “gnome terminal” / “kde terminal” window which runs a “bash” or a “[t]csh” shell and then inside of this terminal execute for “bash”:
source /Full/Path/To/Your/Root/bin/thisroot.sh
or for “[t]csh”:
source /Full/Path/To/Your/Root/bin/thisroot.csh
and then in the same window try to run “root” (note: you need to run “source /…/bin/thisroot.[c]sh” in any newly started terminal window if you want to use “root” inside of this terminal).
Do you get the graphical “splash image” displayed for the first 5 seconds?

Wile_E_Coyote · June 25, 2013, 7:37pm

I think you need to post (attach) here two files: “config.status” and “config.log”

wabashphysics · June 25, 2013, 7:47pm

What output should I expect from running source /…/bin/thisroot.sh ?
I’m doing it correctly now but still don’t get anything in return.

I still get the splashscreen for 5 seconds when I run ROOT

Wile_E_Coyote · June 25, 2013, 7:49pm

There is no verbose output from “source /…/bin/thisroot.[c]sh”. This call sets some ROOT related system variables only (valid for the “current” shell in which you called it).

Looking at the “config.log”, it seems like you tried to execute:
configure libx11
Also, your machine is an “i686”, NOT a “x86_64”.

I gave you FULL command lines that you need (in my previous post here). Do not change them. Just run them as they are (use “copy” / “paste” with a mouse).

wabashphysics · June 26, 2013, 7:44pm

I used those exact command lines and it took about 30 minutes for the last make command. However, my graphical problem when running ROOT is still there. What should I do next?

Wile_E_Coyote · June 26, 2013, 8:25pm

Well, for the moment I have no idea … let’s try the usual way …

have a look into the “make.out.txt” file and check that there are no errors reported (it’s a long file so try to execute something like “grep make make.out.txt” -> this should give you any lines with make errors, if present, and try “tail make.out.txt” and see if there’s the “ROOT BUILD SUCCESSFUL.” message present)
attach three files: “config.status”, “config.log” and “configure.out.txt”
run “source /…/bin/thisroot.sh” and then post the output of:
root-config --version
root-config --arch
root-config --platform
root-config --config
root-config --features
follow two posts:
[url]ROOT - No graphical output shown
