Problem installing ROOT on Ubuntu 15.10

[luzgomez]

Hi.

I’m trying to install ROOT root_v6.04.14.Linux-ubuntu14-x86_64-gcc4.8 on Ubuntu 15.10. After uncompress I do cd/root and ./configure --help obtaining:
bash: ./configure: No such file or directory

​Could you please help me to fix it?

Thanks a lot,

[pcanal]

you meant
[code]cd root[/code]without the slash.
It might even be better to do
[code]mkdir build
cd build
../root/configure[/code]

Cheers,
Philippe.

cd rootwithout the slash.
It might even be better to do

mkdir build cd build ../root/configure

Thanks Philippe.

Unfortunately, nothing changed:

$ cd root/
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ ../root/configure
bash: ../root/configure: No such file or directory
$ ../../root/configure
bash: ../../root/configure: No such file or directory

Have you another suggestion?. I really appreciate your help.

Thanks,

Luz

ROOT 6 Build From Source Error on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Try: cd ~/applications/bin/ rm -rf root_source root git clone http://root.cern.ch/git/root.git root_source mkdir root cd root unset ROOTSYS cmake -Dall="ON" -Dsoversion="ON" ../root_source >> cmake.out.txt 2>&1 cmake --build . >> cmake.out.txt 2>&1

Root-6.06.00 on Ubuntu 14.04 32 bit

I don’t have a solution, but you may try the following … recreate the “source tree” from scratch (so that no old building remnants are present) and then use a “build tree” which is separate from the “source tree” (do not build ROOT 6 “in place”) and use cmake (do not use “configure + make” for ROOT 6): cd /Where/You/Build/It unset ROOTSYS cmake -Dall="ON" -Dsoversion="ON" /Where/The/Source/Code/Is > cmake.out.txt 2>&1 cmake --build . >> cmake.out.txt

Sorry but I don’t see a point here. I also tried with root_v5.34.34.Linux-ubuntu14-x86_64-gcc4.8 but the problem is exactly de same.
Thanks,

Luz

In both cases, you are downloading and unpacking a binary release for Ubuntu 14.04 (i.e. an already built version).

Hi,

If you want to build root yourself (using configure or cmake), you should take the source code (e.g. root_v5.34.34.source.tar.gz) the binaries don’t contain the configure script…

Cheers, Bertrand.

I made fool of my self. Now it seems to be working.
