I’m trying to install root on a dual opteron machine running Redhat Fedora core 6, as part of a GATE install.
I’m using v5.14.00f, although I initially tried to install v5.12 which is recommended for GATE, receiving the same error.
using the following process:
tar zxvh root_v5.14.00f.source.tar.gz
cd root
set ROOTSYS =(usr/local/root)
./configure linux
gmake
gmake install
All seems to go well except the last part where I get the following error (only the last part of the output is here":

From my googling, the ctype_b error is caused by redhat no longer supporting something, but all the solutions seem to be either recompiling the libraries or changing the source code, neither of which are useful to me…
I’m not even sure that the problem is actually in root itself, the error seems to come from libXpm.a, but I’m checked and I have the latest libXpm package (libXpm-3.5.5-3.i386.rpm, compiled for FC6). I’m pretty well stumped here, and I’ve been playing with this installation for weeks now trying to get GATE working.
Can anyone offer any advice?
