Hello.
Can you help me to properly install ROOT+QT+Pythia8 on ubuntu ?
I struggled but I can’t. Please help.
See the relevant sections of this documentation:
Configure/Make
root.cern.ch/drupal/content/inst … oot-source
CMake
root.cern.ch/drupal/content/building-root-cmake
I tried the following things with the ./configure make build option. I didn’t find what I missed 
Pythia8 is installed in /home/navds/pythia_root/pythia8 (–enable-shared option)
I created a root directory in pythia_root dir (I plan root will be installed in)
Then I added the following lines in /etc/bash.bashrc
"
#Pythia and root
export PYTHIA8=/home/navds/pythia_root/pythia8
export PYTHIA8DATA=$PYTHIA8/xmldoc
export ROOTSYS=/home/navds/pythia_root/root
export PATH=$ROOTSYS/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ROOTSYS/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
"
qmake --version give
"
QMake version 2.01a
Using Qt version 4.8.6 in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
"
All packages needed are installed
I am in su terminal
The root_v5.34.18.source.tar.gz is in /home/STORE
command:
tar -xzvf root_v5.34.18.source.tar.gz
cd root
navds-Lenovo-G580 root # ./configure --with-pythia8-incdir=$PYTHIA8/include --with-pythia8-libdir=$PYTHIA8/lib --enable-qt

Hi,
you can find many answers about freetype on ubuntu 14 already on this forum.
Just search for freetype/freetype.h in the search bar on the top left of this page.
Cheers,
Danilo
Thanks for your help Danilo. I will look at
Finally it seems to be working!
Resolved by adding a link:
Ouf, need to do some tests.
Thanks to RootTalk!
