Trouble Installing Root 5.18 on Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)

ROOT

Hi,
I’m new to Macs, and I can’t seem to get ROOT to install properly. ./configure returns that I am working in Mac OS X, but when I move next to make, it returns:

make: execvp: build/unix/svninfo.sh: Permission denied
/bin/sh: build/unix/compiledata.sh: Permission denied
/bin/sh: build/unix/makelib.sh: Permission denied
make: *** [lib/libCint.dylib] Error 126

I set ROOTSYS to the root directory, but in case it’s pointed to the wrong place, this is the path:
$ echo $ROOTSYS
$ /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/texbin:/usr/X11/bin/root

Thanks,
Adam

i just installed on leopard and works like a charm.
Just follow instruction on INSTALL readme file and use
./configure macosx.
Before proceeding be sure to have XCode and g77 compiler installed.
g77 can be found from hpc.sourceforge.net/
Note that ROOTSYS must point to the root directory where the source is.
e.g. for me
echo $ROOTSYS
/Users/bellomo/software/root

Cheers,
