Dear all,

Sorry for the missing information, and thank you for your quick and useful replies !

Your replies helped me to find out what was wrong with the compilation. As Win suggested, the problem was because ROOT was using a static library to compile ! However there is a libpython.so lib on my system, but after checking the log file made at the configure step, I found out that ROOT did not find it, and then use a .a lib found in some other place.

The dynamic python lib is there:
$ ls /usr/local/python/python-2.6/lib/

libpython2.6.so      librpm.la  librpm.so.0      librpmbuild.la  
librpmbuild.so.0      librpmio.la  librpmio.so.0

libpython2.6.so.1.0 librpm.so librpm.so.0.0.0 librpmbuild.so librpmbuild.so.0.0.0 librpmio.so librpmio.so.0.0.0

However, for some reason, ROOT does not check this directory, and finally finds a .a lib:

   Found file
/usr/local/python/python-2.6/lib/python2.6/config/libpython2.6.a Checking if
/usr/local/python/python-2.6/lib/python2.6/config/libpython2.6.a is a 64-bit library
  objdump -a
/usr/local/python/python-2.6/lib/python2.6/config/libpython2.6.a | grep 'x86-64'
  result: 1
  is a 64bit library

I then have forced the right path for python lib, and the compilation went smoothly to the end ! Thanks Wim !

Best regards,

Sébastien
