Dear Fons,

Thanks for your reply. Something was indeed not standard in my machine as it didn't find gcc with the usual command "gcc -v". Anyhow I reinstalled xcode
which at least shows that the machine has gcc.

But the output of the following command throws garbage at me:

  [Monika-4:~] monikas% gunzip -c pcre-7.8.tar.gz | tar xf

-                                        Launch of "Lguanzuinp"c hfa 

iolefd : "tthaer P"o wefraPCi larecdhi:te cttuhree isP noo wleorngPeCr saurpcphorittede.c
ture is no longer supported.

Also, the reason I tried with gcc instead of clang is because I get "no C compiler found" error.

Checking for source directory ... /opt/alice/root/v5-32-01 Configuring for macosx64
Checking for GNU Make version >= 3.80 ... ok Checking for C compiler ... no C compiler clang found configure: C compiler MUST be installed
See http://root.cern.ch/drupal/content/build-prerequisites

I will greatly appreciate if you can help me solve this issue.

Regards
Monika
