Re: problem building root 5.24.0 on Ubuntu 9.10

    Dear Jan,

    With 5-24-00 this indicates that the xrootd build failed. We have other people reporting problems with the newest

    Ubuntu but we were not able to reproduce them on our installations.

    Unfortunately, until a couple of months ago, the build system was not detecting the xrootd failure correctly and

    continued to build failing at 'netx' as in your case.We fixed this issue in the trunk, 5-25-02 and 5-24-00a,b:

    if you use one of these versions you should get the build error at xrootd.

    To find out what's wrong with the xrootd build, you should do the following:

                    make distclean-xrootd
                    make all-xrootd > xrootd-build.log

    Please post the error that you get on the screen and xrootd-buid.log .
