Error during root installation

ROOT
1

Dear Root expert:

I downloaded the root source code and then compile on my machiine, then the following error happened during gmake, any idea:

  • cd /opt
  • wget ftp://root.cern.ch/root/root_v5.28.00b.source.tar.gz
  • tar -xvzf root_v5.28.00b.source.tar.gz
  • cd root
  • ./configure --with-python-incdir=/usr/local/include/python2.4 --with-python-libdir=/usr/local/lib/
  • gmake
    …
    …
    …

Hi,

Those errors have been corrected in more recent version of ROOT (i.e were incompatibilities between the newer compiler and some of the existing code). I recommend you retry with v5.32.

Cheers,
