ROOT for Red Heat 7.3

Can I compile ROOT on Red Heat 7.3 with gcc 2.96? Or can I find such binaries?
I need ROOT’s version >= 5.12.00.

I tried compile ROOT on:[quote][mucha@he117-52 root]$ uname -a

Surely, I tried myself before posting here :slight_smile: And I had even fixed some problems (-m32 option or several compiling errors inside cint package), but I think, it’s a brute force solution to fix sources :slight_smile:. So, it seems to be impossible to compile ROOT >= 5.12 whith g++ 2.96.

Correct. And we do not want to spend time with this obsolete and buggy compiler.

And I do not expect this support from you. I’m only unlucky enough to have such platform and such compiler. :slight_smile:
