Re: failure to compile ROOT latest production version

Hi,

I had a great deal of trouble compiling root as well on a RedHat 5.2 
system.  I found after a long tribulation that the problem is not with 
root but with RedHat 5.2.  RedHat 5.2 default installation installs its 
compilers with

gcc = gcc 2.7.2.3 and
g++ = egcs 1.1.2

This is just a bad situation for any mixed C/C++ code compilation.

I recommend changing and unifying your compilers. The way I did this 
was just to compile egcs locally, a process which takes a while but is 
straightforward.  Egcs source is available at egcs.cygnus.com.

Good luck!
