Root & Gutsy

ROOT
1

Hi people!

I’d love to know how to install Root on Gutsy… i tried to use the suggested repo on ubuntu forums and to compile source, without success.

I mean, the programs starts, but it fails when trying to use Minuit for some fits… :smiling_imp:

…and it’s very upsetting watching Win users laughing cuz their Root work great…

any idea?

thanx

cheers,

Francesco

Did you try installing from source? this is a very simple process:

svn co http://root.cern.ch/svn/root/trunk root cd root ./configure make

Hello Francesco,

I have root v5.18.00 and v5.19.02 running on my notebook with gutsy installed. It runs without problems (also fitting). I simply installed the root binaries made for SL4.

Cheers,
Oliver

although 5.17 is a development release I use it and it works fine.

After you install the root package there are minuit plugins for gutsy available.

libroot-minuit5.17
root-plugin-minuit2

just check your synaptic. Ben.
