I installed Root 5.26.00e on a FreeBSD8.1 i386 system. I configured it as freebsd7, but it worked out. We have implemented an analysis packaged based on root. When linking the shared libraries to CINT there are some problems on the FreeBSD system:
/usr/local/root/bin/rootcint -v -f out/stage6RootDict.cpp -c -p -I<all the include directories> <all the include headers> include/LinkDef.h
dlopen error: /usr/local/lib/root/cint/cint/include/posix.dll: Undefined symbol "cuserid"
Warning: Can not load Dynamic Link Library /usr/local/lib/root/cint/cint/include/posix.dll /usr/local/lib/root/cint/cint/include/posix.dll:1:The linking of shared libraries “apparently” succeeds, but when launching CINT

*** Interpreter error recovered ***I cannot post the source code of our package (and it would be too many lines), but apparently the problem is in cuserid in posix.dll. Here what nm gives on posix.dll
