Please provide the following information:

ROOT Version (e.g. 6.12/02): root-6.10.02
Platform, compiler (e.g. CentOS 7.3, gcc6.2): MacOS High Sierra (Version 10.13.04)

I am trying to install ROOT (version 6.10.02) in my new MacOS High Sierra (version 10.13.04) but I am facing “LZMA error”. Here is the complete detail of error.

Do you have LZMA installed on your Mac? If not, do you have network when building ROOT? It will need to download LZMA to use internally.

Can you share the errors inside the file(s)

ausman · April 24, 2018, 6:00am

The “LZMA” error is been resolved by installing command line tools but now I am facing another error.

Hi, you actually need a full XCode installation to be able to build ROOT. Do you have that?

ausman · April 24, 2018, 1:08pm

I recently updated XCode but I am not sure whether I have a full XCode installation or not.

is there any command for checking this?

couet · April 24, 2018, 1:14pm

When you update Xcode it is always a good idea to (after the update) issue the command:

xcode-select --install

ausman · April 24, 2018, 1:53pm

I have tried this command. It says “command line tools already installed”

ausman · April 25, 2018, 4:11pm

i am still waiting for solution.

Can anybody suggest me a working solution to my issue?

amadio · April 26, 2018, 9:17am

With the information provided it’s difficult to say what the problem is. Please attach the output of your call to cmake as well as the file CMakeCache.txt it generates. You are probably missing dependencies that ROOT needs.

ausman · April 26, 2018, 10:19am

Here is the complete error which I am facing right now. Also I have uploaded the “CmakeCache.txt” file.

Looking forward to your reply.

Please try v6.12/06 and make sure to start the build in a fresh directory.

ausman · April 26, 2018, 5:17pm

I have successfully installed root v6.12.06.

One last question

I want to permanently add “source bin/thisroot.sh” in my bashrc file but I am unable to locate “bashrc” file in my Mac.

Can you guide where this file is located?
