my guess is that you are mixing a ROOT library compiled with “-m64” with your code compiled with “-m32”

thanks for the reply Rene,
i am doing things correctly. The machine is a 32 bit ubuntu with gcc 4.2.4
and compilation fails as i reported during the make command
for info, my gcc -v
ghodbane@clratlport05:~$ gcc -v

Hi,

Maybe this can help: http://root.cern.ch/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=6771

Cheers,
Bertrand.

I can only repeat what I said above. You are compiling your own code with a compiler and options not compatible with your ROOT libs. Did you install ROOT yourself?
Did you import a binary tar ball? which one?
Can you execute stand-alone ROOT? if yes, my suspicion is correct.
