FairRoot v-17.10 and FairSoft oct17 fails all tests of Geant3 and Geant4

[TobiasStockmanns]

Dear all,
I am running FairRoot v-17.10 and FairSoft oct17 on a OpenSuse 42.3 machine. The compilation of both packages runs without error but when I call "make test" all tests with geant3 and 4 fail.

The reason why they fail is a problem in the libraries of TGeant3:

Loading Geant3 libraries ...
cling::DynamicLibraryManager::loadLibrary(): /private/PandaSoftware/FairSoft/oct17/build/lib/libgeant321.so: undefined symbol: ZN4ROOT14DefineBehaviorEPvS0
Loading Geant3 libraries ... finished

For Geant4 the error message is:

Loading VGM libraries ...
Error in TUnixSystem::Load: version mismatch, /private/PandaSoftware/FairSoft/oct17/build/lib/libRootGM.so = 60406, ROOT = 61008

This indicates to me that in the compilation of Geant3/4 the wrong root version was used which is strange because the proper version should come from FairSoft itself. Are the path variable properly set in the compilation process of FairSoft?

Cheers,
Tobias

Hi Tobias, we don’t touch the PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH variables when compiling FairSoft. If you have defined a LD_LIBRARY_PATH when you start the compilation of FairSoft this info will be used during compilation. Probably you compiled FairSoft in a terminal with an existing setup such that you link against the wrong libraries. Please try to redo the compilation in a clean environment Ciao Florian

Hi Florian,

I removed all entries from PATH and LD_LIBRARAY_PATH before the installation of FairSoft. Nevertheless I get many times in the installation process the message: found ROOT 6.04/06 in /usr/local/root.
How do I tell the configure script that it should take the newly installed ROOT 6.10 from FairSoft and not the existing one?

Cheers,

Tobias

Hi Tobias, if you have an installation of ROOT in one of the system paths this is an serious problem. If possible to remove the installation you should do it. My experience with system installations of ROOT shows that it is nearly if not completely impossible to install another version of ROOT somewhere else. You always end up that some header file from the wrong location was used or you link against the wrong library. Ciao Florian

Dear Florian, I removed now the old root version but I get now the error in the installation of FairSoft, that it does not find root!

Hi Tobias, I might have some insight here...

1. When recompiling FairSoft, you should manually purge all the Makefiles: the script won't rewrite them with updated information --I have no idea if this is by mistake or by design.
   So you should basically $ rm -f $( find -name 'Makefile' ) in your FairSoft home directory. And no, removing the installation directory won't do: if you recompile, you're still getting the wrong paths because you're using some old Makefiles.

2. I've been running on OpenSuSE for a while with like 3 different installation of ROOT, counting FairSoft, and it's never been a problem. On an RPM distribution, ideally, you can create modules to load and unload path extensions and switch --this is not the case by default, and there are the thisroot.sh and config.sh scripts hanging around which you source... Also, check in them if they rewrite the paths or append to them, which can also lead to problems.
   I've also been running ROOT@FairSoft compiled with 2 different versions of GCC, switched by modules (on Fedora 26), and nothing strange happened.

I think your problem is of point 1): you probably configured FairSoft once and for some reason your local ROOT was in your path, and it stuck.

Dear Lorenzo, thank you very much for your reply. I managed to solve this problem now by uninstalling the old root version and, in addition, call make_clean.sh I usually delete the build folder of FairSoft in the assumption that I would have a clean start but apparently this is not the case and one has to follow your suggestion by removing the Makefiles (or call make_clean.sh) as I did.
