I think the actual issue is that the radeon driver uses LLVM and interferes with the ROOT cling version. In principle we protected against this, but apparently there is still something which does not work correctly. For the moment I would just use -b.
I was wondering if by this time anyone has found a solution to this problem? I never managed to run the DebugGUI with an AMD graphics card installed. I opened a jira ticket in the past, but that never got resolved. I think the underlying problem is still that interfering LLVM versions are used by the radeon drivers and ROOT.
I have tried with the newest 5.12 kernel (and thus radeon drivers), aliBuild 1.8.2 and the latest alidist recipes. Still I cannot run e.g. the o2-sim-digitizer-workflow without the -b flag. I would really like to use the DebugGUI, but I only managed to run it on my old laptop with intel graphics. My operating system is Ubuntu 20.04.
I have also tried to do the steps described here, but no luck. I have uploaded the LD_DEBUG files to cernbox.
@eulisse in https://github.com/alisw/root the latest tag is 6-20. I tried with the official root-project/root repo and from there version 6.24.
I recompiled with that one, but then I cannot even do a simulation:
