Fatal error: iostream.h: No such file or directory

ROOT

g++ version:4.8.5
When I install root5.34/28 with this version g++, I got an error like

In file included from cint/cint/src/dict/libstrm.h:39:0, from cint/cint/src/dict/libstrm.cxx:14: cint/cint/lib/stream/stdiostr.h:27:25: fatal error: stdiostream.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated. Makefile:631: recipe for target 'cint/cint/src/dict/libstrm.o' failed make: *** [cint/cint/src/dict/libstrm.o] Error 1
Any solutions? I have to install version 5.34/28 because a software we develop has to go with this version.

Hi,

What does “make showbuild” show? Which platform is this, how did you configure?

Cheers, Axel.

This is what “make showbuild” shows. I just type “./configure”.

Hi,

You’re using GCC 5.2 (not 4.8). GCC version 5 is supported since Tue, 24 Mar 2015, i.e. v5-34-30. Please use an older compiler to build an older tag of 5.34.

Cheers, Axel.

Really? I thought I have changed my gcc version because when I type “gcc --version” Outcome says “gcc 4.8.5”. I 'm not sure, I execute command “sudo apt get remove gcc-5” before.

Sorry, it’s really the g++ problem!! I don’t know why, but after I “reuninstall” g++5 it works :smiley: Thank you so much Axel :laughing:

You should always use “apt-get purge” instead of “apt-get remove” (“remove” will leave configuration files in the system, while “purge” makes sure that they are deleted too).

Thank you for clearing that up :smiley:

You really need 5.34 ? … you cannot use ROOT 6 ?
