Replying to yszhang95:

I checked the root repository on GitHub. From this commit, root team removed memprobe.

Would the maintainer consider updating the script of port select --set root root6.

The error messages are below:

Selecting 'root6' for 'root' failed: could not create new link "/opt/local/bin/memprobe": target "/opt/local/libexec/root6/bin/memprobe" doesn't exist

The environment is MacOS 12.3 (21E230). ROOT version is 6.26.00

Inability to set default root causes issues in other places. For example running python code I get the following warnings/errors

sh: root-config: command not found
Error in <TMacOSXSystem::GetFromPipe>: command "root-config --has-dataframe" returned 32512

Hope this will be fixed properly. For now I just created empty files to let select do its job, i.e.

/opt/local/libexec/root6/bin/memprobe
/opt/local/libexec/root6/share/man/man1/memprobe.1.gz
