I am trying to install version 6.26.02 (after trying unsuccessfully with 6.22.06) on Ubuntu 22.04. The problem seems to be related to the XROOTD, see below
Hi @_rthur ,
this is a known issue with 6.26.02 that will be fixed in 6.26.04.
However, unless you have a very specific reason to build ROOT from source, it’s probably simpler to use the pre-compiled binaries or another of the available packages, see Installing ROOT - ROOT . In other words it is likely that you don’t have to compile ROOT from source.
Thanks for the quick reply and glad that this will be fixed in the new release. In the past, the only problem I had with the per-compiled binaries was that they were not build with some of the flags I needed.
However, this time I only need minuit2, pyroot for python3 and genvector. Are these built in the binaries? How can I check how they were compiled?
Running root-config --features in a terminal shows which features a certain ROOT binary was built with. You can also quickly try things out in docker with e.g. docker run -it rootproject/root:6.26.02-ubuntu22.04.
