I downloaded ROOT 5.28 from source and I ran the configure file:
Which gave the following error:
Checking for libX11 ... no
configure: libX11 MUST be installed
See http://root.cern.ch/drupal/content/build-prerequisites
The problem is that I already installed all the prerequisite packages for Ubuntu 11.04. I confirm this by typing:
and seeing:
What is the problem here? Can anybody help me? Thanks!
for Ubuntu 11.04 please install the trunk version of ROOT or the trunk of the v5-28-00-patches branch. The needed fixes have been made there.
Cheers, Fons.
Hello, rdm,
I’m sorry for the ignorance, but which is the trunk version and where do I find it? (I couldn’t find it in the downloads section of the website).
Thank you very much!
See here:
root.cern.ch/drupal/content/inst … oot-source
and here, if you need v5-28-00-patches:
root.cern.ch/drupal/content/root … ease-notes
Cheers, Fons.
Hello
I have the trunk version and ubuntu 11.10 and have the same problem.
gcc version 4.6.1 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.1-9ubuntu3)
Any ideas on how I fix this?
Thanks
Can you check in the config.log file why libX11 is not found? On my Ubuntu 11.10 it works when configuring for 64-bit (but did not try 32-bit).
Cheers, Fons.
It seems that the configure script and ROOT are not looking in the correct place for the libX11 and other libraries.
The following website gives detailed instructions about how to configure and install ROOT on Ubuntu 11.04.
askubuntu.com/questions/39363/ho … -root-cern
I am following them now on a 11.10 Ubuntu install and it seems to be doing the trick (compiling as we speak).
Ciaran
The above instructions still failed.
However, downloading from the SVN repository and then following the instructions does seem to work!
Hurray!
I’m using XPS tool
bioconductor.org/packages/2. … l/xps.html
that is requires ROOT framework .
My problem is installation@Ubuntu 12.04 issue that is the same as posted here
./configure linux
" Checking for libX11 … no
configure: libX11 MUST be installed "
After installing all prerequisite linux libraries., and trying to compile few most recent ROOT versions (including the newest from SVN) I had no success.
I also tried to direct the installation to the correct X11 directory , 64 bit :
./configure linux --with-x11-libdir=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
Log says :

It seems instalation script finds libX11.so libX11.a but the rest of the files are not found
root@ubuntu:/# find ./ -name “libX11*”
did not find libX11.sl libX11.dylib libX11.dll.a libX11.a libX11.lib libX11 , I found on the web that few of these belong to MAC / cygwin etc
So I assume these are not needed.?
Do you have any advice ?
Thanx,
Branko
p.s. Btw. I could install binary version of the ROOT from this site
scaini.org/site/projects/27/root … and-ubuntu
but that did not help me since ROOT and XPS tool need to use the same compiler.
Which version of ROOT do you try to install? Only v5-34-00 and trunk work on Ubuntu 12.04.
Cheers, Fons.
was the fix. I just installed v5-32 .
@ rdm , I did try trunk & v5-34 last week but the issue was there
I remember I used both
./configure linux
./configure
all the best Rooters.

Bizarre, never saw auto arch detect fail yet. Could you check in the configure script why this fails on your machine. For me it works fine on Ubuntu 12.04.
Cheers, Fons.
it seems i made mistake somewhere last week .
./configure
works fine on v5-34 at my machine . Sorry for miss info.
It might have been that i used some older Root version ( i had this issue 1-2 months ago but had to put it on hold due to other obligations… until last week)
or i had some other essential lib missing error and moved to ./configure linux .
that I saw on some Web forum post which informed me about --with-xxx-libdir switches.
thanx again for quick help
I had this problem but sorted it out.
Using the trunk version ROOT 5.99/01 obtained with svn, I tried to compile it for linux 64 bit and got errors regarding libX11.
The problem was simply that my OS (opensuse 12.2) was not 64 bit (though the machine is) … how it got that way is another story.
One can check that you really have a 64 bit linux using uname -m
The 32 bit linux ./configure, make had no problems
