Hello,
I’ve been trying for quite awhile on and off again to get ROOT installed on my Linux Mint 17.1 Rebecca 64-bit. Compiling from source, since I can’t get the Ubuntu package to work for some reason and I can’t seem to find ROOT in Synaptic, ./configure works just fine (run with no additional options), but then during make (and quite a ways into it), I run into this show-stopper:
lib/libAfterImage.a(export.o): In function `ASImage2png_int':
export.c:(.text+0x19c): undefined reference to `png_set_longjmp_fn'
lib/libAfterImage.a(import.o): In function `png2ASImage_int':
import.c:(.text+0x30ae): undefined reference to `png_set_longjmp_fn'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [lib/libASImage.so] Error 1
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
I have libpng12 installed.
I found this solution here: Problems in building ROOT
But even though it says “solved,” I don’t really see a solution anywhere there…
Any other advice, or clearer advice than what’s in the only other ‘solution’ I’ve found?
