Where did you get the source? In the source directory what is the output of doing ls -l?

[shdutta]

I got the source from this link: https://root.cern.ch/content/release-62000
The output of ls -l:

Btw what does this error mean? Does this mean that cmake is unable to get access to some paths?

[pcanal]

This output means that most of the code is missing. It looks like un-tarring the source code file failed. Did you run out of disk space?

[shdutta]

Oh! I will untar and check again.

It worked. Thanks a lot!
