Hi everybody, first of all i must say that i’n not very good at programming but I decided to install root by myself.
so i downloaded the 5.17.04.macosx.powerpc-gcc-4.0 version and i unpackaged it.
i moved the root folder to applications and i opened the README file to install root.
i got X11 but when i typed "make install i got:
“make: *** No rule to make target `install’. Stop.”
i would like to get through this problem alone but i’m not so keen on programming.
cheers valentina
Valentina,
When importing teh binary tar ball, ROOT should be ready to use.
make install should only be used when installing from source.

But i have to set the environment variables right?
and just typing root on the terminal of X11 it should work?

Yes when starting from the binary distribution, you just have to include $ROOTSYS/bin in your $PATH and $ROOTSYS/lib in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

i create a bash file named root.sh where i set the environment variables:
export ROOTSYS=/Applications/root
export PATH=$PATH:$ROOTSYS/bin
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ROOTSYS/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ROOTSYS/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
then i type root but i get that the command is not found…
