Re: New external package release sep12 (GEANE patch)
type: item
description: Hi pandarooters, in the sep12 release of the external packages a patch has been applied to GEANE (as written by Florian on http://fairroot.gsi.de). Just a few remarks on the patch: it contains the following two improvements in the routine which handles the propagation to the point of closest approach. Change 1, in the actual poca finding procedure piece of code: - PREVIOUSLY: an extrapolation to a very large track length was performed and, during the propagation, the poca was found, BUT the extrapolation was not stopped and used to go on till the final track length was reached; - NOW: the particle is stopped after finding the point of closest approach; Change 2, in the propagation type handling: - PREVIOUSLY: the poca finding procedure was performed also when propagating to the plane after having found the poca, due to a missing reset of a variable; - NOW: the poca finding procedure is accessed only when requested. These two changes improve the time performances of the extrapolation and thus of the Kalman filter. We tested the macro/pid/run_reco_sttcombi.C on 1000 events without and with the patch and the kalman time is roughly halved. The changes are still inside a "patch" since we would like some massive testing before inserting them as "official". For this reason, if you notice any strange behaviour in the propagation and/or in the reconstruction results, please let us know! Have fun, Lia and Alberto.

description: Dear Mathias, Thank you for your reply. Actually they are there. As the previous version of the external packages (jan12) did not complain on those and I could install it without any problem. I think something is changed in the root build scripts, but I do not know what and the most important thing is how to fix or bypass this, . Regards, Mohammad.

description: Hi Florian, I had to add the following lines to the script you have mentioned and everything seemed to go OK. But at the end building fairbase and r3broot failed. With a message like "Could not open file TEveEventManager.h". The actual header was not included in the installation directory. So, now I have checked out a clean root again and waiting to see if will work this time. --with-x11-libdir=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu\ --with-xpm-libdir=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu\ --with-xft-libdir=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu\ --with-xext-libdir=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu\ Regards, MB.

description: Hi Florian, I give up, . Whatever I include, enable or disable the root configure script produces the same. Comparing the 32 and 64 bit configurations I found the following: 32: Result: Enabled support for asimage, astiff, builtin_afterimage, builtin_ftgl, builtin_glew, builtin_lzma, explicitlink, fftw3, gdml, genvector, krb5, mathmore, memstat, minuit2, monalisa, opengl, pythia6, pythia8, roofit, shadowpw, shared, soversion, ssl, tmva, x11, xft. 64: Enabled support for asimage, astiff, builtin_afterimage, builtin_ftgl, builtin_zlib, builtin_lzma, explicitlink, gdml, genvector, mathmore, memstat, minuit2, shadowpw, shared, soversion, tmva, x11, xft. This does not even change if I explicitly run configure from root itself on the command line and specify the include and library directories. Very strange. Last thing I can do, as a test, is to modify the configure script packed with root itself to see if that might help. A lot of work but maybe solves the problem. Regards, Mohammad.

Re: New external package release sep12

description: Hi Florian, Yes everything is there. The headers and libs. If I have a look on the same machine but in the previous external packages (jan 2012), then all of the parameters are fine. ROOT was compiled correctly and the options were all OK. So I think that the configure scripts for the current ROOT release is changed. So I will try to fix this and will send you the solution or at least a description of that. I think we need to solve this, because for the next debian stable release we will hit this problem again. It seems to work. I have added the paths to the root configure script and it went all OK. So these two paths: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu /usr/include/GL In the case of 32 bit machines the root script can find the correct path (/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/) but one way or the other it can not handle the 64 bit case.
