To check if your ROOT installation is OK you could type into the ROOT window the following:

TBrowser b;

If an additional window would open up most likely all is OK.

Here is a brief list of frequently/commonly used UNIX commands:

• cp – copy files
• scp – secure copy files
• ls – list files (ls -l lists files with attributes)
• chmod – change attributes of files, etc. (chmod u+x … makes a file executable for you)
• cd – change directory
• mv – move files
• rm – remove files
• pwd – to find out in which directory you are currently

You can use e.g. “man ls” on the command line to find out more about a specific command. You could also try to google details …

If you have found out other useful commands, tricks, etc. let us know!

Ok, it seems the reason for the last error was because cygwin was not running. Problem is solved but now iguana/ispy freezes when opened.

Does anyone else get this message when they try to open ispy?
[lxplus203] ~ > chmod +x ispy
[lxplus203] ~ > ./ispy
Reading default views.
Fontconfig warning: no elements found. Check configuration.
Fontconfig warning: adding /usr/share/fonts/fonts.cache-1
Fontconfig warning: adding ~/.fontconfig
ispy: Fatal IO error: client killed
I also tried doing the wget thing beforehand but that didn’t work either.

Here is the FAQ link for running iSpy:

The third question is the code to change the file’s mode. =)

For all Mac users,

Take a moment to check out the Cyberduck application at http://cyberduck.ch/ to make things a little more convenient with server connections and directories.

It is also recommended that you use this in conjunction with Aquamacs at http://aquamacs.org/.

For the iSPY example one can use on the lxplus machines the following command:

scramv1 list | grep CMSSW | grep 3_3
