Installing 6-20-04 fails on Ubuntu 20.04

Dear experts,

I’m trying to install root on an Ubuntu 20.04 machine and I get the following error:

Any suggestions for how to proceed?

ROOT Version: 6.20.04
Platform: Ubuntu 20.04
Compiler: Not Provided


Hi @christok,
How are you building ROOT? Are you using -Dbuiltin_llvm=ON in your build or an external LLVM? Refer to the guide for all the building steps, but also keep in mind that on ubuntu you can just download a precompiled binary.
Cheers,
Vincenzo

Hi Vincenzo,

Thank you for your reply.

I was using these flags : “-Droofit=ON -Dminuit2=ON -Dbuiltin_fftw3=ON” so no, I didn’t try it using -Dbuiltin_llvm=ON as well.

Although, I installed and successfully build v6-16-00 and its working fine now. If I try to build v6-20 with your suggestion, I’ll let you know about the outcome.

Thank you,
Konstantinos
