Unable to compile v5-32-04 on Ubuntu 10.04

Tialis · November 5, 2012, 8:11am

Hello everyone, and thanks for the help in advance.

I have been using root for quite some time already, and now I need to re-install root to a newer version (but cannot use the last version, it must be v5-32-04).

My built-in specs are:

Target: i486-linux-gnu
Configured with: …/src/configure -v --with-pkgversion=‘Ubuntu 4.3.4-10ubuntu1’ --with-bugurl=file:///usr/share/doc/gcc-4.3/README.Bugs --enable-languages=c,c++,fortran,objc,obj-c++ --prefix=/usr --enable-shared --enable-multiarch --enable-linker-build-id --with-system-zlib --libexecdir=/usr/lib --without-included-gettext --enable-threads=posix --enable-nls --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.3 --program-suffix=-4.3 --enable-clocale=gnu --enable-libstdcxx-debug --enable-objc-gc --enable-mpfr --enable-targets=all --with-tune=generic --enable-checking=release --build=i486-linux-gnu --host=i486-linux-gnu --target=i486-linux-gnu
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.3.4 (Ubuntu 4.3.4-10ubuntu1)

After the “make” I get this nasty message:

I have tried to install from online package, from SVN, and I always end up with the same problem. Tried to de-activate the TCint.cxx from ./configure using “./configure --disable-cintex” but doesn’t seem to work eather.

If anyone can show me the right way I would be pleased!

Thanks!

Try to update all your Ubuntu software packages to the latest available versions.
I am able to compile ROOT v5-32-04 on an “Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS / i686” (“2.6.32-44-generic-pae” kernel) with “gcc version 4.4.3 (Ubuntu 4.4.3-4ubuntu5.1)” and “(g)libc 2.11.1-0ubuntu7.11”.

BTW. The “TCint” class is the ROOT’s interface to “CINT” -> you will always need it. The “cintex” is a separate (usually unneeded) “Reflex interface library”.

First of all, thank you Wile E. I really appreciate any kind of help…

I upgraded gcc to 4.4.3 and still not working… same error. I tryed both 5_32 and 5_34. Now using:

gcc version 4.4.3 (Ubuntu 4.4.3-4ubuntu5.1)
ldd (Ubuntu EGLIBC 2.11.1-0ubuntu7.11) 2.11.1

And still the same prompt:

What could be the problem? having another root installed (with PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH and ROOTSYS pointing to another root folder) could have something to do?

I could never get a clean installation of root… what could be the cause?

Wile_E_Coyote · November 6, 2012, 1:14pm

Before you try to build a new ROOT, make sure nothing in your environment variables points to another version of ROOT.

Tialis · November 6, 2012, 2:45pm

I commented all ROOT related variables from .bashrc and still not working. Also tryed to install it with a fixed location in my home directory (for not mixing with other installations) and still with the same problem…

It seems to appear when the makefile throws:

Any idea on how to solve this?

Thank you!

One thing looks strange to me … “lib/liblzma.a” … I have “-llzma” instead.
This shouldn’t be a problem, but you never know.
Make sure that you have two Ubuntu software packages installed … “liblzma1” and “liblzma-dev”.

Try to build your ROOT from scratch using: configure --all --enable-explicitlink --enable-soversion [--enable-rpath]

BTW. Make sure that you do not have any standard Ubuntu’s ROOT 5.18.00 related packages installed (i.e. “completely remove” / “remove with any associated configuration files” all standard Ubuntu’s ROOT packages).

Tialis · November 6, 2012, 4:55pm

I don’t know exactly what exactly did the trick but it worked!!

I list everything I did:

– Indeed I had some packages which I didn’t remove from Ubuntu’s package installation, that probably was the cause of it. Removed them

– Installed “liblzma1” and “liblzma-dev” as Wile E. suggested (thanks!!)

– Changed to “2.6.32-44” just to make sure (even if this probably did not have anything to do… I did it so I point it out…)

Wile E., Thank you so much!! you saved my day!
