Dear Rooters,

I have tried to install ROOT v.5.16.00 from source according to http://root.cern.ch/root/Install.html using method 1 on Mac OS X Leopard, as ROOT seems not to be available from Fink yet. However, I was not able to make it work properly...

Everything looks fine until I type
>make -j2

and the make process starts. Then I got the following warnings:

.....
ftgl/src/FTVectoriser.cxx: In member function 'void FTVectoriser::MakeMesh(FTGL_DOUBLE)':
ftgl/src/FTVectoriser.cxx:186: error: invalid conversion from 'GLvoid (*)(...)' to 'GLvoid (*)()'

ld: warning in ../../lib/libXrdSec.so, file is not of required architecture ...

I didn't notice it the first time I ran it, and tried to start ROOT after adding the correct paths.
Then ROOT seemed to start with the start-up picture, but I got the following:

root: can't start ROOT -- check that /Applications/root/bin/root.exe exists!

Any ideas how I can proceed? I am using the gcc-4.0 from the Developer tools.

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,
Cecilie
