visualization not working

[afiran]

I have issues using the visualization package. I do not have OpenInventor but I do have installed QT4 . It seems that just commenting and uncommenting the /vis/open statements in the macro is not working for me.I get the following error: ERROR: G4VisCommandsViewerSet::SetNewValue: no current viewer. ERROR: G4VisCommandSceneHandlerCreate::SetNewValue: could not find fallback graphics system for "OGL". ERROR: G4VisCommandViewerCreate::SetNewValue: no scene handlers. Create a scene handler with "/vis/sceneHandler/create" ERROR: G4VisCommandsViewerSet::SetNewValue: no current viewer. Visualization verbosity changed to errors (2) * Illegal parameter (0) </vis/sceneHandler/create> *

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Ana

Hi, it looks like you don't have OpenGL working or, you didn't compile Geant4 with OpenGL. Does this ring a bell ?

I do have OpenGL. If I run the Geant4 examples , the visualization works. Ana

[idarraga]

Then the problem is with Qt ? Did you compile geant4 with that support ? The flags are

-DGEANT4_USE_OPENGL_X11=ON -DGEANT4_USE_XM=ON -DGEANT4_USE_QT=ON

I compile Geant4 using: cmake ../ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/Applications/Misc/geant4.10.02 -DGEANT4_BUILD_MULTITHREADED=ON -DGEANT4_INSTALL_DATA=ON -DGEANT4_USE_QT=ON -DXERCESC_ROOT_DIR=/opt/local/include/xercesc

You need to turn on XM and OpenGL too. Why don't you follow our recomendation to install OpenGL with full support for allpix ? Here:

Ana. If you decide to follow the official recommendation for Geant4 installation allpix-compatible, please don't hesitate posting questions on it. I personally think that having the OpenInventor support pays off greatly for debugging both, geometries and physics. Feel free to post as many questions as necessary. We'll try to walk you through the process. Good luck ! And thanks for your interest in allpix :) !

Ana and I worked to get that dependency working; but SoXt doesn't compile under OS X. We got the head version of Coin3D to compile, that was a simple fix that I sent along to the Coin3D guys to implement.

[idarraga]

Alright, so you guys are working in OS X. Ok, so you got Coin3D to compile, but not SoXt. Is this correct ? What is the problem you are having with SoXt ?

[twhyntie]

Hello,

Out of interest, has anyone considered using a CernVM for working with Allpix?

http://cernvm.cern.ch/

We use them with CERN@school (which uses Allpix!) to avoid this kind of configuration issue as the VM software will run on OS X, Windows, or whatever the schools are running...

You could even develop a CernVM "context" specifically for Allpix, and/or deploy Allpix to the CernVM-FS.

Apologies if this has been thought of before! Best, @twhyntie

[rrios-eq]

@idarraga, I haven't ignored the issue; I've been busy with some other detector deployments last week and am at a workshop this week.

@twhyntie, I'd love to use CernVM for AllPix and many other software projects, but all the ports are blocked where I work. I have to go through a long and involved process to get them unblocked, but it is something I would like to use.

[mathieubenoit]

Is this working now ?

[rrios-eq]

Sorry for the long delays in responses. SoXT was the hold up for us to run it under OS X; it never compiled. We're trying to set it up on another cluster which has access to CernVM. Please go ahead ahead and close this ticket.

[idarraga]

I have compiled it before in OSX successfully. It should work. You could also share here the error message so we can try to help.

Ok, so there are compilation problems in SoXt. I've done it in the past, but I suspect it's probably due to the way X11 is handled in newer versions of OS X. We're running El Capitan.

export PREFIX=/Applications/Misc/GeantV_Related

Coin3D:

hg clone ssh://hg@bitbucket.org/Coin3D/coin
export CC=clang
export CXX=clang++
./configure
make -j
sudo make install

SoXt:

cd $PREFIX
hg clone ssh://hg@bitbucket.org/Coin3D/soxt
cd soxt
./configure --with-x --x-includes=/usr/X11/include/ --x-libraries=/usr/X11/lib/  --enable-darwin-x11 --enable-optimization
make -j

Then I get the compilation error here: make_error.txt

[idarraga]

Right, there it is. "Undefined symbols". This means you have the wrong version of one of the dependencies. It looks like it is coin. Coin is a dependency for SoXt. Which version (or revision) or Coin did you compile ?

[rrios-eq]

I used the head.

[idarraga]

yeah ... I think that one doesn't work ... it is written in the wiki. Try the revision recommended there

https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/Main/AllPix#Dependencies

if this one doesn't contain those functions missing ... simply try to find a revision or release which does. I remember I got it right in OSX simply by picking the right version.

cheers,

The head version compiles and installs fine; I'll go ahead and try the other revision.

[idarraga]

see if the symbols exists before hand, so you don't loose the time compiling

Compilation doesn't take too long for either, maybe a minute. Same problem though using Coin with revision 11361.

[idarraga]

Then you need to find the version where these symbols exists.

SoXt hasn't been touched in several years and it has been a problem in OS X for at least 1.5yrs - https://trac.macports.org/ticket/45612

If I have time, I'll find see if I can find a version that works.

Thanks for the help John.

[idarraga]

Did you try the other way around ... downgrading SoXt ? ... so the set of the API they are using is different ?

Tried downgrading SoXt - no success. Tried downgrading Coin and SoXt - no success. It's an old problem and SoXt hasn't been modified in years. I thought I'd try to compiler Geant4 with OpenInventor using SoQt, and while that compiled - I ended up seeing that you have your own fork of SoXt. I grabbed that and it worked. So, now I have OpenInventor in Geant4.

Hi, yes.

I created that fork and fixed some stuff, but then I didn’t get much further than you.I saw that error and was like « WTF » . This need some John wizardry here,

Thanks for the fork Mathieu. Had I checked looked up one directory above AllPix, I could have shaved some months off the age of this issue. Hope John has a quick fix. ^_^
