Fatal error: TTree.h while using Root and Geant4

Hi Everyone!
I tried to run a code but got this problem:

Have you faced something similar?

I did some research and found similar problems… i understand that the possible issue could be a wrong header location for ROOT

Is there a way to specify the correct headers in cmake or make command while building the simulation.

Any other suggestion or approach would be appreciate.
Sorry if it is a basic question and thanks for all your time guys! :slight_smile:

It seems that the PATH to ROOT is not set up correctly.
In general you should set-up in your environment:

export ROOTSYS=/path_to_ROOT/root
LD_LIBRARY_PATH={LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:{ROOTSYS}/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
PATH={PATH}:{G4WORKDIR}/bin/{G4SYSTEM}:{ROOTSYS}/bin
export PATH

(not sure why the dollar sign does not appear before the { but it should be included)

Then you have to change your CMakeLists.txt to link ROOT libraries. Look at the extended example: AnaEx02/CMakeLists.txt

I hope this helps,
cheers

@guatelli Thanks a lot!! i will tried this now! Can you update AnaEx02/CMakeLists.txt i think the link did’t save any file and It would be super helpful for me :slight_smile:

Best, Yael.

You can find it in the examples/extended/analysis directory of Geant4

@guatelli Thanks for all the time you have spent on this post and sorry for bothering you again, i’m still learning how GEANT4 works so i’m still a novice here.

I ran AnaEx02 to find out if it has the same error as my simulations. i can run the AnaEx02 sim but no histograms or Root canvas are displayed. The Root canvas are see in a different location or they must be displayed alongside the simulation?

I also modified my .bashrc and .bash_profile as you suggested (i add some more variables i found online) but still getting the same error, even i remove CmakeCache from the building dir.

Here is my current bash: BASHYAEL.txt (1005 Bytes)

Is that the correct variable set up for G4 and Root Interface?
i really appreciate one last advice, since i’m running out of options :upside_down_face:

Hi. I have done as follows:
source path_to_root/bin/thisroot.sh
then I compiled AnaEx02 and I ran it. The output of the simulation is AnaEx02.root. Then you need to use root to open it. e.g.
type: root
then you can create a TBrowser which allows to navigate easily in the root file. Type: new TBrowser()
then you will see your directories. Click on the root file you intend to open.

I hope this helps you.

@Thanks!! I figure out how to set up my CMakeList properly!!

Also Ana Run Successfully :slight_smile:
i really appreciate your time

Cheers, Yael
