Compile Error on Ubuntu 18.04

Hi, I had the same problem and it was solved by using “cmake” instead of “./configure” and “make”. Thus after unpacking the .tar file and move it to your desired directory:

  • mkdir root-version_build
  • cd root-version_build
  • cmake …/root-version/
  • cmake --build . – -j3
  • . bin/thisroot.sh
  • root
