PyRoot and Roofit

For those who are interested to have PyROOT running on their NIKHEF linux desktop, here is my recipe:

1. Install Python-2.3.5 in your home dir(for example) by compiling it with options: --enable-shared --prefix=$HOME/python_dir

2. Add in your .tcshrc file the following lines:

setenv ROOTSYS /project/bfys/root/root-5.10.00 setenv PATH ${ROOTSYS}/bin:${PATH} setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH

setenv PYTHONDIR $HOME/python_dir/lib/python2.3 setenv PYTHONPATH $HOME/python_dir/lib/python2.3 setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ${ROOTSYS}/lib:${PYTHONDIR}:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH} setenv PYTHONPATH ${ROOTSYS}/lib/:${PYTHONPATH}

Then, the last thing one should do is: cd $HOME/python_dir/lib/python2.3 ln -s $HOME/python_dir/lib/libpython2.3.so.1.0 libpython2.3.so.1.0
