Re: Unable to install ROOT version 5-32-01 on mac 10.7.3 with gcc version 4.2.1

Dear Fons,

I installed command line tools from xcode but I still get the same error.

• Building core/pcre/src/pcre-7.8/.libs/libpcre.a... Launch of "gunzip" failed: the PowerPC architecture is no longer supported. Launch of "tar" failed: the PowerPC architecture is no longer supported. /bin/sh: line 0: cd: pcre-7.8: No such file or directory /bin/sh: ./configure: No such file or directory make[1]: *** No rule to make target `libpcre.la'. Stop. make: *** [core/pcre/src/pcre-7.8/.libs/libpcre.a] Error 2

Regards
Monika
