Failed to install root-6.02.05 on ubuntu14.04(LTS)

[quote=“Wile E. Coyote”]sudo apt-get purge root-system* root-plugin* libroot*
(Note: afterwards check that the “/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/root5.34” and the “/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/root5.34” subdirectories disappeared completely.)
Then try to build your “new” ROOT version completely from scratch again.

[quote=“Axel”]Hi,

Okay - so now it works? You sent me a different error than the one you mentioned first; the step that failed before now works.

Your new error points at a broken previous build (misconfigured?): the missing ROOT::Class_ShowMembers is in libCore which is linked (-lCore).

I’d recommend to run
make distclean
make -j4

Cheers, Axel.[/quote]

[quote=“hcohen”]this is my pre install packages for root on ubuntu, last tested with root-6.02.05 and linux mint 17 (ubuntu 14.04)

then simply:

[code]wget http://root.cern.ch/download/root_v6.02.05.source.tar.gz
gzip -dc root_v6.02.05.source.tar.gz | tar -xf -
cd root-6.02.05

./configure linuxx8664gcc --enable-explicitlink --all --enable-minuit2 --enable-qt --enable-roofit --enable-table --enable-shared --enable-xml --enable-reflex --enable-python --enable-gdml --enable-rpath --enable-qt --enable-soversion --prefix=/usr/local

make -j4
sudo make install

Thanks for all of your helps, it’s really very kind of you!
The solution is to uninstall the previously installed ROOT by run
sudo apt-get purge root-system* root-plugin* libroot*
