Datatype Error when 'make' ROOT

ROOT
1

Hi all,

I have been using ROOT on my laptop for some time. When I tried install root with cmake on my clusters. Then I got an error from datatype.h.

Here is the cmake output:

I searched online for a little while but did not see something similar about ROOT.

Thanks.

Which ROOT 6 version are you trying to build?
What is your operating system version?
Post here the output of:
g++ --version
cmake --version

3

g++ (GCC) 4.9.2 Copyright (C) 2014 Free Software Foundation, Inc. This is free software; see the source for copying conditions. There is NO warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

cmake version 3.4.1

Which ROOT 6 version?
Which operating system version?

There is something strange in the output that you show.
I can see there:
– Found GCC. Major version 4, minor version 1
but then you show:
g++ (GCC) 4.9.2

So, try also:
gcc --version
gfortran --version

5

The version of ROOT I tried to install is root-v6.06.06.
Both gcc and gfortran are 4.9.2.
The OS I am using is centos-release-5-11.el5.centos

Do your gcc/g++/gfortran come from one of the:

“old” RedHat “Developer Toolset”: linux.web.cern.ch/linux/devtoolset/
“new” RedHat “Software Collections”: linux.web.cern.ch/linux/scl/

If yes, you will not be able to build ROOT 6.

7

Could you explain the reason? And what does major 4 and minor 1 mean? So that I can have my engineer to fix that.
Thank you so much.

Hi,

[quote]CMake Warning at interpreter/llvm/src/cmake/modules/HandleLLVMOptions.cmake:145 (message):

[/quote]is very odd … all gcc on linux (on x86) that I know of are supporting -fPIC …

To me, the line:
– Found GCC. Major version 4, minor version 1
means that, at this stage, it found the CentOS 5 default gcc 4.1.2 compiler.
