Problem installing ROOT

Hello all,

I’m a new user of ROOT, and am installing it in support of an installation of GATE that I will be using for PET simulations.

I have been following the instructions from this guide on the GATE wiki, and have also read this page on the ROOT website. I’m trying to do a fixed location installation (as per the GATE instructions) of version 5.30/00 on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.

I have installed the prerequisite packages, and untarred the ROOT source file into a directory and run the following commands:

./configure --prefix=$PWD
make

However the second command seems to fail. It produces the following result:

Options to Xrootd-configure: i386_linux --ccflavour=gcc --use-xrd-strlcpy --disable-krb5 --with-ssl-shared=yes --enable-shadowpw --disable-krb4 --enable-echo --no-arch-subdirs --disable-mon --with-cxx=g++ --with-ld=g++

Could anyone advise on what I should do? Unfortunately, my knowledge of Linux is a bit limited…

Thank you!

I’ve met the same problem as you. I would be very gratitude for the one who would help me to solve this problem.

I’ve tried to install again, but this time I tried installing v5.28/00c. I untarred the files to a new directory and followed the same instructions from the GATE webiste, ie:

./configure --prefix=$PWD
make
make install

This time it the installation was successful. Hope this information is useful to others.

Hi,
see this thread:

Kwyjibo has suggested a workaround that worked for my 64bit machine fine.
