Why does running ROOT produce errors when I am using the Fermi Science Tools?

The science tools use a specific version of ROOT for the GUI’s and plotting. So in general it is not possible to run another version of ROOT in the same window that you setup for the Science Tools. One solution is to run the Science Tools and Root in separate windows so there is no conflict. Another solution would be to build the Science Tools from source and use the –without-root option in the configure step. This would disable the GUI’s and plotting from the Fermi Science tools but allow you to use your version of Root in the same window. Why am I receiving an error about a missing library when I run certain Science Tools (e.g. gtexpmap)? MAC users running OSX 10.4 (Tiger) will need to set an additional environment variable to run the science tools. This will mean that IDL cannot be run in the same window as the science tools. For C Shell variants: > setenv DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES $FERMI_DIR/lib/libf2c.so or if you are using a version of the Bourne shell then: > export DYLD_INSERT_LIB
