Hi,
I don’t think we have pre-compiled ROOT binary for MacOS 12 (Monterey). You should probably build from source, after installing the command line tools from Xcode, see Dependencies - ROOT.
Somebody else might know more, I have not yet installed MacOS 12 on my machine.

Cheers

Hi,
for anyone ending up here, you can also install ROOT on Monterey via conda or brew, see Installing ROOT - ROOT .

Cheers,

Many thanks, I installed ROOT using Macports. It works fine. It is compatible with Python 3.10.

I think this is still not 100% working, unfortunately.
After trying the workarounds involving downgrading to XCode 13.0, I can get ROOT installation working with Homebrew, but there is still no PyROOT.
