./configure unable to find X11 in OS X 10.9

Hello,

After upgrading to OS X mavericks I had some problems running ROOT. So I did a make clean, and then reran the ./configure script and found it gets stuck at:

mark-hodgkinsons-macbook:root markhodgkinson$ ./configure
Checking for source directory … /Users/markhodgkinson/root
Configuring for macosx64
Checking for Fink/MacPorts directory … /opt/local
Checking for GNU Make version >= 3.80 … ok
Checking for C compiler … clang
Checking for C++ compiler … clang++
Checking for linker (LD) … clang++
Checking for F77 compiler … no F77 compiler gfortran found
Checking whether libc++ is supported … yes
Checking for libX11 …

after 12 hours I killed it. Then in case something is messed up I checked out into a new fresh area:

mark-hodgkinsons-macbook:~ markhodgkinson$ git clone root.cern.ch/git/root.git
Cloning into ‘root’…

cd root
git checkout -b v5-34-13 v5-34-13

and see the same problem:

mark-hodgkinsons-macbook:root markhodgkinson$ ./configure
Checking for source directory … /Users/markhodgkinson/root
Configuring for macosx64
Checking for Fink/MacPorts directory … /opt/local

and no more output. Does anyone have an idea what is wrong?

Thanks,

Mark

Have you installed Xquartz ?
xquartz.macosforge.org/landing/

Does anyone have any other suggestions? I still have the same issue

Thanks,

I I never seen configure looping on libX11 search…
I do not know what it could be.
That’s why I asked you about XQuartz…
