Trouble compiling root with RedHat Linux 9.0

ROOT
1

I’ve been trying to get either root-v4.04.02f or root_v5.02.00 to compile in RedHat Linux 9.0 and I was wondering if anyone out there might have an idea why I’m having difficulties. I’ve been following the procedure outlined in the Install/Readme regarding compiling ROOT for RH, which seems pretty straight forward.

The compile is complaining about the following files not found (when compiling root-v4.04.02f )

/tmp/rootrpm/usr/lib/root/libXrdSec.so
/tmp/rootrpm/usr/lib/root/libXrdSec.so.4.04

I tried disabling xrootd in the compile, but that only made things worse.

Are there some libraries missing, or what?

Thanks for any advice.

Which version of gcc are you using?
I do not see any problems under RH9 and gcc3.2.3.
In case you have a newest version of gcc, I sugest to check out
the CVS head, then
-run ./configure with your options
-make distclean
-make

If you still have a problem, please post
-the result of configure
-the full output of the make process

Thanks for the quick response.

It turns out that the RH9.0 standard install uses gcc-3.2.2-5. Do you believe that this is the problem?

I’ll try compiling gcc-3.2.3 and see if that helps.

This version of gcc should be OK.
Proceed as requested in my previous post.

Thanks Rene for the help. I was able to get root-v4.04.02f to compile by following part of your instructions. For whatever reason, however, following the redhat specific suggestions were not successful (as I mentioned earlier).
