ROOT on Ubuntu 16.04

Pitw · October 30, 2016, 12:08pm

Hi,

I need to install Root on Ubuntu 16.04. I don’t need any particular version but i need to install it on this system. I read that root might have problems with the gcc version related to ubuntu 16 (which i think it’s 5.3.1).
Can someone help me by giving me a set of commands or instructions to do this?
I try using instructions given in other discussions but it doesn’t work.

Thanks.

ROOT 6.06 (note: use 6.06/08 instead of the older 6.06/06) -> Memory leak in ROOT::Math::IntegratorMultiDim
ROOT v5-34-00-patches -> Trouble Installing

What’s wrong?

Looking at the line “-- Enabled support for:”, I can see that it’s fine but I guess you really want some more “features” (e.g. “fftw3” and “mathmore”).
I think you should run:
sudo apt-get build-dep root-system
and then configure your new ROOT from scratch again.

It works perfectly. Thanks for your time.
