ROOT install + CNVnator issues

[milesgr]

I received a pm from user antimony with the following but he did not allow private message responses, so I figured I'd post it here and hope he sees it.

Hi milesgr,

how did you solve the compiling problems that came about when you were installing ROOT

/usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/libfftw3.a(map-r2r-kind.o): relocation R_X86_64_32S against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/local/lib/libfftw3.a: could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
gmake: *** [lib/libFFTW.so] Error 1

I am having the same problems with libpython and it looks like a generic situation

I remember what the problem was - the version of libfftw3.a found in /usr/local/lib was out of date. I also believe that the good version of the file was in another folder (but I wouldn't hold me to that) that I was able to find in the file system due to a message board thread that I cannot seem to locate. It is also possible that I had to install the updated fftw software (I don't remember ). If you do a search on the linux machine for libfftw3.a, perhaps you can find the other version if it exists. If not, I can send you the file that you will place in /usr/local/lib that should fix everything. If you want me to e-mail you the file, please feel free to e-mail me at my forum handle at umdnj.edu

hi milesgr, thanks! its embarrassing not realizing that private messages was not turned on and i had to find the reply right here. if the reason is that the libraries are out of date, i will try and get libpython2.6.a fixed and updated.

ROOT installation error

I downloaded root_v5.34.14.source.tar.gz from ftp://root.cern.ch/root,and I run the following command in order to install ROOT:
tar zxvf root_v5.34.14.source.tar.gz
cd root
./configure --with-xpm-libdir=/usr/lib64
make
But there was an error when I run the command "make". Here is the error:

What should I do in this case to install ROOT successfully?
Thanks!
