Error compiling Root from source on Ubuntu 14.04

I tip it’s a bug in ROOT’s installation procedure (I tip the “LD_LIBRARY_PATH” is not properly set before calling “root” when it tries to process the “hsimple.C” tutorial in the end, so you probably do not really need to worry about it that much).
Try the [url=https://root-forum.cern.ch/t/missing-canvas/17664/17 ROOTSYS based method[/url] (in case anything goes wrong you’ll have additional “configure.out.txt” and “make.out.txt” files to look into): [code]cd root-6.02.04

first get rid of “old” installed files

sudo make uninstall

and make the source code “clean”

make maintainer-clean

then build everything from scratch

note: the “ROOTSYS=/Where/You/Want/To/Install/root” subdirectory must

be different from the “/Where/You/Unpacked/The/Source/Code/Of/root”

subdirectory (i.e. in which you will build ROOT)

export ROOTSYS=/usr/local/root-6.02.04
./configure --enable-soversion --all > configure.out.txt 2>&1
make > make.out.txt 2>&1
sudo ROOTSYS=${ROOTSYS} make install >> make.out.txt 2>&1[/code]
