Hi,

Welcome to the Forum!

It seems you do not have the local compiler installed: could you please be more precise about the way in which you installed cling and what is the local compiler available on your machine?

Best,
Danilo

Hi,

Thanks: do you manage to compile code on the machine in your current setup, i.e. is the libc-dev package also installed?

Cheers,

Dear @catfish ,

ERROR in cling::CIFactory::createCI(): cannot extract standard library include paths!

Whenever you see an error such as this one, consider the installation of cling (or ROOT) broken in some way which doesn’t make it worth using it until that error is fixed. The best approach is to just do a fresh reinstall following instructions at Installing ROOT - ROOT.

downloaded cling version for ubuntu, is that a problem, is there a way to do it for mint?

This is surely a problem and you shouldn’t do this for any type of software. I believe the easiest way to install ROOT on your machine currently would be via conda.

Cheers,
