ROOT 5.99 compilation in Fedora 27

Hi all,

I currently have the dnf-installed ROOT on my desktop. Due to some other code breaking down, I decided to install ROOT version 5.99, where this code did work.

I configure it using:

./configure linuxx8664gcc --enable-shared --enable-python --enable-mathmore --enable-roofit --enable-minuit2 --enable-gdml --enable-table --enable-opengl --disable-fftw3 --enable-soversion --enable-rpath --enable-pythia8 --with-pythia8-incdir=/home/jjones/Programs/pythia8230/include --with-pythia8-libdir=/home/jjones/Programs/pythia8230/lib --prefix=/home/jjones/Programs/root-5.99.06/

However, once I run gmake, the compilation is unsuccessful:

I have found some info related to this issue, but not sure what to do with it.

Any ideas?

Please don’t use 5.99 - this was an early preview. Use 6.12/06 if possible.
