Geant4 cvmfs works on a first machine, but doens't work on a second one

Getting Started

Hello, I use Geant4 on cvmfs installed on a machine on a first laboratory and it works.
This is the compiling of the simulation

On the contrary, Geant4 on cvmfs using a machine on a second laboratory doesn’t work…the compiling is different and I get error

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

Why the compiling is different? And why do I get error on the second machine?

@bmorgan maybe do you know it?

The LCG “views” used in each case are different:

-- Found XercesC: /cvmfs/sft.cern.ch/lcg/views/LCG_geant4ext20210118/x86_64-centos7-gcc8-opt/lib/libxerces-c.so (found suitable version "3.2.3", minimum required is "3.2.3")

on the first, then

-- Found XercesC: /cvmfs/sft.cern.ch/lcg/views/LCG_99/x86_64-centos7-gcc8-opt/lib/libxerces-c.so (found suitable version "3.2.3", minimum required is "3.2.3")

on the second, hence the different configuration.

See the error:

CMake Error at /cvmfs/sft.cern.ch/lcg/views/LCG_99/x86_64-centos7-gcc8-opt/lib/cmake/Qt5Gui/Qt5GuiConfig.cmake:15 (message):

     "/lib64/libEGL.so"

  but this file does not exist.  Possible reasons include:

  * The file was deleted, renamed, or moved to another location.

  * An install or uninstall procedure did not complete successfully.

All of the LCG CVMFS installs rely on a set of system packages being installed, usually the set defined by the HEP_OSlibs rpm, so get that and install on the system.

Thank you @bmorgan

How is it possible?

This is the bash profile

# .bash_profile

# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
	. ~/.bashrc
fi

# User specific environment and startup programs

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin:$HOME/bin

export PATH

I use the same bash profile in both the machines…
And you see the source is:

/cvmfs/sft.cern.ch/lcg/views/LCG_99/x86_64-centos7-gcc8-opt/setup.sh

then, how is it possible that in the first mash the view is different???

is it a repository of cvfms???

There’s quite a bit going on there, so all I can suggest is to check the environment directly after a new, clean login session on the machines and see what gets set. It may be necessary to comment out line in the script to see what each does to the environment.

No, this is system rpm package that requires downloading and installing on the machine. As this looks like a CentOS/RH 7 machine, the README here for that platform should be suitable and provide installation instructions for it.

I see the problem…in the bash of the second laboratory, I had to add this line

source /cvmfs/sft.cern.ch/lcg/views/LCG_99/x86_64-centos7-gcc8-opt/setup.sh

otherwise ROOT doesn’t work…on the contrary, in the first laboratory root works without that line…
I don’t know…

I said it to the technician…I hope that he will solve.
Thank you
