Dear ROOTers,
I am trying to compile ROOT 5.18 on a linux machine, with
OS Linux SuSE 10.3 (kernel 2.6.22.17-0.1-default).
I tried first with
configure linux
make
but make gives the following error:
/usr/lib/gcc/i586-suse-linux/4.2.1/…/…/…/…/i586-suse-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lXft
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [lib/libGX11.so] Error 1
then I followed the font tip given in root.cern.ch/phpBB2/viewtopic.ph … light=lxft
by recompiling with (I cancelled all the traces of the previous compilation)
configure linux --enable-builtin-freetype
make
but this doesn’t solve the issue either: make gives the same error.
The config.log file is in attachment (as config.txt). Browsing it, it seems that libXft is not found anywhere among the libraries. However,
locate libXft
/usr/lib/libXft.so.1
/usr/lib/libXft.so.1.2
/usr/lib/libXft.so.2
/usr/lib/libXft.so.2.1.2
/usr/lib/vmware/lib/libXft.so.2
/usr/lib/vmware/lib/libXft.so.2/libXft.so.2
(?)
Thank you in advance for your help.
Cheers,
Diego
