Installing from source on slc4_amd64_gcc34 (libX11-devel)

ROOT
#1

Hi All,

I’m having trouble installing root from source on a slc4_amd64_gcc34 machine (to use the lhcb platform naming convention).

When I run configure I encounter the following message:

[root@n60 root_v5.22.00]# ./configure --enable-unuran --enable-table --disable-builtin-pcre --disable-builtin-freetype --enable-qtgsi --enable-oracle --enable-mysql --enable-python --enable-explicitlink --enable-qt --enable-mathcore --enable-mathmore --enable-reflex --enable-cintex --enable-minuit2 --enable-roofit --with-oracle-incdir=/sw/lib/lcg/external/oracle/10.2.0.4/slc4_amd64_gcc34/include --with-oracle-libdir=/sw/lib/lcg/external/oracle/10.2.0.4/slc4_amd64_gcc34/lib --with-gccxml=/sw/lib/lcg/external/gccxml/0.9.0_20090601/slc4_amd64_gcc34/bin --with-gsl-incdir=/sw/lib/lcg/external/GSL/1.10/slc4_amd64_gcc34/include --with-gsl-libdir=/sw/lib/lcg/external/GSL/1.10/slc4_amd64_gcc34/lib --with-cern-libdir=/sw/lib/lcg/external/cernlib/2005/slc4_amd64_gcc34/lib --with-fftw3-incdir=/sw/lib/lcg/external/fftw3/3.1.2/slc4_amd64_gcc34/include --with-fftw3-libdir=/sw/lib/lcg/external/fftw3/3.1.2/slc4_amd64_gcc34/lib --enable-fftw3 --with-x11-libdir=/usr/X11R6/lib

configure: libX11 (package libX11-devel) MUST be installed

We have the X11 libraries but there’s no libX11-devel.so and searching on the web only seems to bring up links to builds for Fedora. Yum is no help either.

Can anyone help?

Paul.

P.S. I’m using SLC4.8

[quote=“Peter Elmer”] The message is a bit misleading, that isn’t the name of the library/libraries
you need. (The printout is “euphemistically indicative” of what you
need… :wink: I believe you need to install the following rpm (64bit) for SL4:

xorg-x11-devel-6.8.2-1.EL.63

Yes, that has sorted everything out.

Feel free to close topic.
