Install ROOT 5.22 on Fedora 10.0 Power PC 64

[gma]

Hi,
I am trying to do a simplest installation of ROOT 5.22 on Fedora 10.0 PPC 64.
./configure
make

The following are the error message I got

Generating dictionary core/meta/src/G__TCint.cxx…
core/utils/src/rootcint_tmp -cint -f core/meta/src/G__TCint.cxx -c -DG__API core/meta/inc/TCint.h core/meta/inc/LinkDef_TCint.h
make: *** [core/meta/src/G__TCint.cxx] Segmentation fault
make: *** Deleting file `core/meta/src/G__TCint.cxx’
rm core/utils/src/RStl_tmp.cxx core/utils/src/rootcint_tmp.cxx

Any idea what is going on here? Thank you very much.

You are facing a compiler bug, not a compilation error.
On which system are you running? a MAC with a virtualizer?
which compiler version?

Brun,
Thank for your quick answer. I installed a Fedora on a Mac G5. The problem is that I downloaded Image for PPC from Redhat and installed. It seems that for development tools, the default installation put 32bit header and library files first. So for ROOT, even at the configure stage, I have to manually install the 64 bit header and libraries even though the system installs 32 bit version. So my system is quite messy now with 32 and 64 bit header and libraries exist at the same time.

As to the compiler, it is gcc 4.3.2

I am afraid that I cannot give much help. You are getting the mess you have been looking for :

, haha, OK. Try to figure this out by myself. This Fedora 10 PPC is weired in that it installs development packages by default as ppc version not as ppc64 version and it installs a 64 bit kernel. I understand that many packages may still depend on 32 bit version. I bet the gcc is a 32 bit version, so I got the error message.
