Root install problem with cmake on ubuntu 12.10

ROOT
1

Hi,

I tried the cmake way of installing root on my ubuntu 12.10 system. I did follow the steps described in:
root.cern.ch/drupal/content/building-root-cmake
But the installation apparently didn’t go as planned, since not all necessary libraries can be loaded in root.

This is what I tried:

peter@jefe:~/code/root/bin$ source ./thisroot.sh 
peter@jefe:~/code/root/bin$ root
rootx xpm error: XpmOpenFailed

What I found strange is, that at “make install” some of the files where put into “/usr/local/etc” which seems suspicious to me.

Can you give me a hint what I have done wrong or what I could do to solve the installation problem?

thanks,
Peter

Hi,

I think I am one step further: I had neglected the -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX= option before which I now set to my root installation dircectory (maybe it would be helpful telling in the documentation to explicitly set this directory, I skipped it because it is marked as optional parameter). I redid make and make install. Now I am stucked at the following problem at make install:

...
-- Up-to-date: /home/peter/code/root/lib/libCore_rdict.pcm
-- Up-to-date: /home/peter/code/root/lib/G__Rint_rdict.pcm
CMake Error at core/rint/cmake_install.cmake:50 (FILE):
  file INSTALL cannot find "/home/peter/code/root/lib/libRint.so".
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  core/cmake_install.cmake:61 (INCLUDE)
  cmake_install.cmake:147 (INCLUDE)


make: *** [install] Fehler 1

the interesting thing is, that after make I do have the file libRint.so in the lib/ directory, but after make install it is gone.

cheers,
Peter
