I recently updated my Mac Pro to Sequoia and shortly after, ROOT started crashing on the open. I tried a deep reinstall from source (ROOT 6.32 latest-stable) via:
Unfortunately I end up with this compile crash despite several attempts/variations on the above, including cloning with older tags that I know worked for me in the past:

This usually means that your header search paths are not configured properly. The header search paths should contain the C++ Standard Library headers before any C Standard Library, and you are probably using compiler flags that make that not be the case.
149 | # error <cstdint> tried including <stdint.h> but didn't find libc++'s <stdint.h> header. \
Any help is greatly appreciated. My compiler is AppleClang 15.0.0 (from Xcode Command Line Tools).
Sorry to hear your brew-based setup on Sequoia did not work out of the box for ROOT.
I would start by performing the steps suggested here ROOT on macOS 15 / Xcode 16 - #8 by Danilo to make sure no remnants of previous sdks are around.
We can then discuss further steps if not successful.
Thank you for the prompt reply. I followed the steps outlined there by @couet. I again experienced the same crash.

The log file pointed to there also contains the same crash I saw originally. As an additional note, the first cmake command required an extra argument -Dbuiltin_glew=ON in order not to crash.
This seems to be an issue with your setup.
What happens if you remove the packages installed with brew install glew fftw openssl tbb libxml2 and run cmake ? What is the output of the configuration?
…however, that ended up with the usual cascade of errors:

It really looks like your setup is somehow broken. Could you please upgrade your OS and then try to rerun these steps?
# remove the current Command Line Tools
sudo rm -r /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
# Reset xcode-select
xcode-select -r
# Then install. You will be asked to click a button
xcode-select --install
Check for new version of the Command Line Tools and update it if needed: Go in the System Settings → General → Software Update
Then proceed with a new clean build
# Install ROOT
git clone https://github.com/root-project/root.git
mkdir root-build
cd root-build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../root_install ../root_src -Dbuiltin_glew=ON
make install -j4
I also add in the loop @couet, he might give some insights about your issue…
