Hi,
I’m trying to install root on my ubuntu 14.04.
I downloaded the Release 5.34/34 - 2015-10-02 on the website.
Then I unpacked the downloaded files by typing the following command in the shell:
Now I have to build root. Shall I do it with cmake? Or with the ‘old’ methode?
I tried both, but it did not work.
First I installed all Buildung Prerequisites https://root.cern.ch/build-prerequisites
And then I used cmake methode like described in https://root.cern.ch/building-root:
-If I create a folder ‘buildroot’ and go into that directory and type ‘cmake /…/abs_path_to_unpacked_root_file’ everything works.
Now I trie point 5 in https://root.cern.ch/building-root, but then I get the error message ‘Error: could not load cache’.
I don’t know what’s wrong. Maybe it’s the following: Before I did point 5 i typed in ‘make’ in the shell. That was not written in the instructions on https://root.cern.ch/building-root, but anyway I did this for no reason. Could this be the reason why I cannot proceed with the installation instrations that are given in https://root.cern.ch/building-root?
That’s waht I get after typing ‘make’ in the build folder

Could you just make a copy&paste of all commands you issued?
After building ROOT, you have as well to install it. This you do via make install. Where to install to you specify via -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=yourdesiredlocation when invoking cmake.
