I followed this one this time, obtained root from here, did the following:
cmake ../root/
then tried
cmake --build . -- -j8
but I have been asked to do ./configure first, so I did and then I did:
cmake --build . -- -j8
because I have 8 cores. It failed again, I am pasting below the last few lines…

Is this related to some libraries missing or something? Because I have installed all the pre-requisites, although the instructions are for Ubuntu 10 - 16 and mine is 18.04, but I remember last time it worked…I installed root on this same laptop 2 months ago and removed it using rm -rf /.../root/ as you suggested here. I have to install root asap though, please help.
Thanks
