Root installation from source

ROOT
#1

Dear All,
I am facing some problem in installing ROOT 5.34 from source. I am using fedora 13.

The error I am getting on configuring is given by-

TGLText.cxx:(.text+0x120): undefined reference to `FTPolygonFont::FTPolygonFont(char const*)'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [lib/libRGL.so] Error 1
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs…

Please note that “glew-devel” was already installed in the computer.

Please show me the way how to solve the problem.

Regards-
Kalyan

It does not look like a configuration-time problem, it’s a linker error. ROOT includes ftgl, so if you have some problems with a system one, you can configure ROOT with --enable-builtin-ftgl.

Thank you sir for your reply.

As you asked to do “configure ROOT with --enable-builtin-ftgl.”.

Could you please tell me how to configure with enable-builtin-ftgl.

Ath the configuration step (just before 'make"), you just have to type

instead of

./configure :smiley:
