Problem in installing root on Linux Mint 17.1 Rebecca

aenor · May 24, 2015, 7:17am

Hello,
I’ve recently installed Linux Mint 17.1 Rebecca, but I’m not an adept at it.
I need Root for academic purposes, so a downloaded version 6.02/08 and I tried to follow this instruction:
http://wiki.ubuntu-it.org/Programmazione/RootCern
I run:

Then I typed:

and I got this error:

I tried to reinstall needed packages that I found here:
https://root.cern.ch/drupal/content/build-prerequisites
but it didn’t work, and honestly I can’t understand very much about my error.
Thanks in advance.

Do you need absolutely ROOT6? If not, could you try to install ROOT 5.34/30 and see if you manage to install it?

Hi,

This is not caused by ROOT6 - it’s due to an inconsistent build: libCore is not what it should be.

make distclean
make -j4

And you don’t need to run “make cintdlls”. The Ubuntu page is wrong; you should not call “make install” either for the configuration without --prefix. Also, there is no reason to put ROOT into something writable by ROOT, and definitely not into /usr/share/root. See root.cern.ch/drupal/content/ins … oot-source for the proper documentation.

Cheers, Axel.
