Cannot "import ROOT" in El Capitan

ROOT
1

Dear experts,

After upgrading to OS X 10.11 El Capitan, importing ROOT in a python session gives the following error:

[user:~]> python
Python 2.7.10 (default, Aug 22 2015, 20:33:39)

import ROOT
Traceback (most recent call last):

I am using ROOT 6-05-02 on a macbook pro with (system) python 2.7.10. Same problem appears when working with ROOT 5-34-34.

I have come across other forum entries with similar problems but none offer a solution (yet).

Any ideas?

Per above: either patched v5, or use non-system python.

Hi Dominique,

what git branch would v5 be? I am using v-34-34 which from what I see was updated on 02 October 2015 and I still can’t get it to work.

v5-34-00-patches. But only cmake.
