Dear Sirs I have a problem when installing ROOT in my computer. I have not system privileges and my computer has a Red Hat 8.0 system. I tried to install both 3.10.01 and 3.04.02 versions (downloaded from root html page) without succes. With 3.10.01 version, I tried to build Redhat Linux packages: after having followed all you prescriptions in README/INSTALL. I gave these two commands in my /home/<username>/root-3.10.01 directory: 1) make redhat 2) rpmbuild -ba root.spec as answer of last command I received the message: ........... ......... rw-r--r-- urciuoli/users 86 2003-10-09 09:38:00 root-3.10.01/zip/src/CVS/Entries -rw-r--r-- urciuoli/users 308 2003-08-22 12:08:27 root-3.10.01/zip/src/Deflate.c -rw-r--r-- urciuoli/users 42254 2003-08-29 12:42:56 root-3.10.01/zip/src/Inflate.c -rw-r--r-- urciuoli/users 844 2000-05-16 19:00:47 root-3.10.01/zip/Module.mk -rw-r--r-- urciuoli/users 4000 2003-10-16 18:37:12 root-3.10.01/root.spec + STATUS=0 + '[' 0 -ne 0 ']' + cd root /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.35825: line 28: cd: root: No such file or directory error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.35825 (%prep) RPM build errors: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.35825 (%prep) ------------------------------------------------------------------ and I noticed that in the directory /home/<username>/redhat/BUILD the sub - directory /home/<username>/redhat/BUILD/root-3-10.01 was created. When I tried to install the ROOT version 3.04.02 and I performed (in the directory /home/<username>/root-3.04.02) the same procedure described above I received the message: ..... .... -rw-r--r-- brun/vp 32112 2000-05-16 19:00:47 root/zip/src/Deflate.c -rw-r--r-- brun/vp 14819 2000-05-16 19:00:47 root/zip/src/Bits.c -rw-r--r-- brun/vp 42245 2002-12-02 19:50:12 root/zip/src/Inflate.c -rw-r--r-- brun/vp 42164 2000-05-16 19:00:47 root/zip/src/Trees.c -rw-r--r-- brun/vp 844 2000-05-16 19:00:47 root/zip/Module.mk + STATUS=0 + '[' 0 -ne 0 ']' + cd root-3.04.02 /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.19050: line 28: cd: root-3.04.02: No such file or directory error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.19050 (%prep) ------------------------------------------------ and I noticed that viceversa the subdirectory: /home/urciuoli/redhat/BUILD/root was created I also tried to instal ROOT 3.10.01 version giving (after defining , as in the previous cases, ROOTSYS and adding $(ROOTSYS)/bin to the PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH) the commands 1). /configure linux 2) gmake and I received this answer: ........ ...... e/src/G__Base1.o base/src/G__Base2.o base/src/G__Base3.o cont/src/G__Cont.o meta/src/G__Meta.o net/src/G__Net.o unix/src/G__Unix.o clib/src/G__Clib.o -lcrypt ==> lib/libCore.so done g++ -shared -Wl,-soname,libGX11.so -O -o lib/libGX11.so x11/src/GX11Gui.o x11/src/Rotated.o x11/src/TGX11.o x11/src/gifdecode.o x11/src/gifencode.o x11/src/gifquantize.o x11/src/G__X11.o /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.a -lX11 /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lX11 collect2: ld returned 1 exit status -------------------------------------------- I would be very grateful if you would help me to solve this problem.
