ddsim not working on CLD compact files

[aciarma]

Hi, I tried to run ddsim on the CLD compact files but it does not work.
I am sourcing the nightlies and trying to use $FCCDETECTORS/Detector/DetFCCeeCLD/compact/FCCee_o2_v02/FCCee_o2_v02.xml

Is this expected?
ddsim works with ILC compacts from $lcgeo_DIR

Hi Andrea, no it is not, though the nightlies have had a number of problems recently... It looks like the detector builders from FCCDetectors are not linked properly in these relies while the one from k4geo probably are, which would explain why the ILC compacts work. Can you open an issue in the key4hep-spack repository? Meanwhile, if you can, use the stable stack (source /cvmfs/sw.hsf.org/key4hep/setup.sh), I tried and it works. If you prefer I can open the issue, just let me know. PS: can you be a bit more specific about the error you see next time you report an issue?

Hi Andrea, I opened key4hep-spack#499. While waiting for the problem to be fixed centrally, calling this
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$FCCDETECTORS/../../lib/:$FCCDETECTORS/../../lib64/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
after sourcing the nightlies should solve the problem. NB: there seem to be another problem with the edm4hep output at the moment which will be investigated.

Hi Brieuc, thank you very much for opening the issue. The fix you suggested seems to work, now I am trying with other geometries in the same directory.

edm4hep output at the moment which will be investigated.

Is there a ticket for that?
