installation problem

[fabrice]

Dear Delphes maintainers,

I recently moved from Scientific Linux to Mageia and I don't manage to install Delphes 2.0.3 successfully anymore.

[fabrice@lpsc4008x Delphes_V_2.0.3]$ ./configure
Makefile ready
To build Delphes type

make

[fabrice@lpsc4008x Delphes_V_2.0.3]$ make

Generating tmp/Utilities/ExRootAnalysis/src/BlockClassesDict.cc
Compiling tmp/Utilities/ExRootAnalysis/src/BlockClassesDict.cc

g++: erreur: tmp/Utilities/ExRootAnalysis/src/BlockClassesDict.: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type
make: * [tmp/Utilities/ExRootAnalysis/src/BlockClassesDict.] Erreur 1

Translation:
g++: error: tmp/Utilities/ExRootAnalysis/src/BlockClassesDict.: no such file or directory.

It may be due to my version of make (GNU Make 3.82) or of g++ (g++ (GCC) 4.6.3).

Best,
Fabrice

Hi,

Is root properly installed on this machine, and $ROOTSYS properly set ?

Jerome

[fabrice]

Hi,

As far as I know, yes, ROOT is properly installed (I can run it) in /usr/share/root.
$ROOTSYS is set to /usr/share/root.

Did you compile root yourself ? With the same compiler ?

Jerome

[fabrice]

I did not compile root myself, but it was done with the same compiler. What could be wrong/undefined? (I am currently using ROOT 5.32/00.)

[favereau]

is $LD_LIBRARY_PATH pointing to $ROOTSYS/lib ?

[fabrice]

No, $ROOTSYS/lib = /usr/share/root/lib does not exist.
But $LD_LIBRARY_PATH = /usr/lib64/root:/lib
and in /usr/lib64/root there is a lot of .so and .rootmap files and a "python" directory.

Ok, that's how packaged ROOT installations should work, no problem on this side.

I'll have to dig a little deeper then, never encountered this error as you guessed. FYI, i'm using:

• gcc version 4.1.2
• GNU Make 3.81

So at least this is not a make version issue (or a very subtile one)

[favereau]

Just so you know i don't forget about you:

installing mageia in virtualbox for tests (and for my personal pleasure)

[favereau]

Could you tell me which rpm you used for your installation of ROOT ?

[favereau]

This must be a problem with your root installation, as I could compile delphes on mageia 2 without any troubles using a freshly compiled root.

I guess one of your best options is to compile root yourself (30 minutes, 20 if you force multithreading, straightforward). Please let me know which root rpm's you used though, it could help too.

[fabrice]

Problem solved! It was simple but I missed it.
In the beginning of the Makefile, I have replaced:
-include $(ROOTSYS)/etc/Makefile.arch
-include $(ROOTSYS)/test/Makefile.arch

by:
-include /etc/root/Makefile.arch
-include /usr/share/root/test/Makefile.arch

and now it works fine :-)
Thank you very much for your support.

Best,
Fabrice
