Description

Hello,

trying to install the ctools-1.7.0 using installation method from source
code, I get the following message when performing the "make check" in ctools
directory :
Test csroot2caldb from Python: Fatal in <TVirtualStreamerInfo::Factory>: Cannot find the plugin handler for     TVirtualStreamerInfo! However $ROOTSYS/etc/plugins/TVirtualStreamerInfo is accessible, Check the content of this directory!
  aborting
  Aborted (core dumped)
  FAIL test_python_cscripts.sh (exit status: 134)
.../...
The content of $ROOTSYS/etc/plugins/TVirtualStreamerInfo is :

[landriu@sapcta] ~ > ls $ROOSTSYS/etc/plugins/TVirtualStreamerInfo
P010_TStreamerInfo.C
.../...

Do you see where the problem is ?

Thank you for your help

This seems to be an issue with your root installation and is not related to ctools. See for example https://root-forum.cern.ch/t/fatal-in-tvirtualstreamerinfo-factory-cannot-find-the-plugin-handler-for-tvirtualstreamerinfo/20272.

The root version I’m using on my Mac is 5.34/34. You may check whether a different root installation works for you.

Hello Jürgen,

in fact the ROOTSYS is defined here as ROOT/v5.34.34. It is the version we use 
for Fermi computations.
Do you know if this plugin is well installed when the directory has only this file :
P010_TStreamerInfo.C
in which no main() is defined, so I do not see how to apply the solution of CERN page ..

Cheers,

David

I have really no clue.

ROOT is in fact only used by the csroot2caldb script in ctools that converts an IRF derived by the MC group from a ROOT file into a FITS file.

In case you do not need this, and if you cannot fix the issue, you may simply comment the lines:

import test_csobs2caldb

and
test_csobs2caldb.Test(),

in test/test_python_cscripts.py.

Hello Jürgen,

this solution works.
../..
PASS: test_python_ctools.sh

It can be accepted because it seems ROOT is not mainly used for this purpose.

Thank you very much,

David
