Hi @qq_pp, did you update the system after installing ROOT?

I installed ROOT after update the system

Why is your build using /opt/local/bin/ranlib and not /usr/bin/ranlib or /bin/ranlib or wherever it is? Do you have custom binutils that might interfere with the compiler?

I did not chang anything. I just followed the " Quick Start" to install the ROOT

Hi,
Well - that doesn’t install /opt/local/bin/ranlib. So - where does that come from? Did you build your own compiler some day?
Axel.
