That gives me: zlib1g-dev is already the newest version (1:1.2.8.dfsg-2ubuntu4).
I don’t know what you mean with “enforce freeetype”. I first type configure and then make in the “root/5.34.36/root” directory without adjusting any files or anything else
In bin/root-config, there is the line:
features=“asimage astiff builtin_afterimage builtin_ftgl builtin_glew builtin_pcre cintex explicitlink fftw3 genvector memstat opengl python reflex shadowpw shared tmva vdt x11 xft xml thread”
I just tried “./configure --enable-builtin-freetype” and then make.
Now, I get a different error:

Ok, I redid the compilation, but the result is the same:
make distclean
./configure --enable-builtin-freetype
make
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/libfftw3.a(mapflags.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata’ can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC

The error says that you have a FFTW3 library in “/usr/local/lib” which was not compiled with “-fPIC”.
Talk to the one who installed it there.
For me the best idea is to remove this additional library (plus any shared version of it and any related include files in “/usr/local/include”) and install the system default version:
sudo apt-get install libfftw3-dev
Ok, I might try this, although I am not very happy about poking around in /usr/lib directories, especially since I have no idea who installed it and why.
In any case, why does ROOT need this fftw2 library? Is there no way to install root without depending on this?
Any advice on how to uninstall this will be helpful too. I tried it with “apt-get remove” and by just renaming “the libfftw3.a”, but in both cases when after that I do “sudo apt-get install libfftw3-dev”, I get:
libfftw3-dev is already the newest version (3.3.4-2ubuntu1).

I am sorry, I forgot about that other flag.
I just tried it with both flags, and - indeed - now it compiles perfectly.
Thank you very much for your help, and sorry for sending my previous message too soon.
