Problem building ROOT

ROOT
1

Here is an error I receive when running make command. I am trying to install ROOT 5.99 (version 5 necessary for my simulations). I am doing this in vm virtualbox for Linux Ubuntu 14.04. Help would be appreciated with this.

Hi,

ROOT 5.99 is an early version of ROOT6: it cannot be used as a ROOT5 version.
More importantly, what is the reason why ROOT6 cannot be used? ROOT5 is maintenance mode since years and ROOT6 offers tons of new exciting features!

Cheers,
D

Hi Daniel,

I don’t really understand the deep reason why I can’t use ROOT 6. I am
doing this for a University project to run Monte Carlo simulations for Muon
Scattering Tomography. The analysis framework that we have built requires
ROOT 5, according to my supervisor. I had actually installed ROOT 6 before
this but, was told to get ROOT 5. Is there a version of ROOT 5 that I can
build?

Best Regards,

Simon
