Dear Rooters

I am facing problem in installing root_v5.34.38 on server power machine installed with Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS (GNU/Linux 4.4.0-131-generic ppc64le). The errors are as follows:

I face the same problem with other sources also (v5.34.30, etc.)
Needs help in urgent. Anyone is kind enough to sort out this problem.

Hi,

try to configure with --disable-lzma. And even better: use ROOT 6.14 - that should work out of the box.

Axel.

Dear Axel

Thank you for your suggestions. I tried configure with --disable-lzma, but did not work out. Then I switched over to ROOT 6.14. After trying various earlier versions ROOT 6.14.02 got installed it seems. I tried to run basic macro and it executes it properly.
Thanks again

Cheers
