ROOT Version: 6.30.06
Platform: Ubuntu 24.04

In the final step of ROOT building process:

cmake --build . --target install -- -j16

I got the following errors, and the build process ended without any successful compilation.

Hi Sameed,

Thank you for your question. There seems to be a problem with DAVIX as mentioned in the build log. Could you have a look/provide the part of the log that is failing?

I encountered a similar problem during the installation process.Can you help me with how this problem is solved?

From the log, it seems that your machine doesn’t have libxml2-dev installed. You can try installing it manually.

But did you install all the required packages before compiling?
