For this error:
g++ -shared -Wl,-soname,libGX11.so -m32 -O2 -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 -lXpm -lXext -lX11 -lXft/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXft
the solution is to install libxft-dev package
However, I have a question. Isn't the ./configure script supposed to warn about the lack of needed libraries? It actually says that the lib Xft was not found, but an error message at the end of the output would be nice. ROOT developers, would it be possible to do that?
Regards,
Thiago
