I want to flag the followinq problem I meat building ROOT[1] on Kubuntu-9.10 (K-9.10).
When 'configure' finds GSL on the system then a component of ROOT, called MathMore, is enabled for the build: [...] Checking for gsl/gsl_version.h ... /usr/include Checking for GSL version >= 1.8 ... ok Checking for libgsl, gslML, or gsl ... /usr/lib64 Checking for libgslcblas, gslcblasML, gslcblas, or cblas ... /usr/lib64 Checking whether to build libMathMore ... yes [...] But on K-910 it fails in this way: [...] g++ -shared -Wl,-soname,libNetx.so.5.25 -m64 -O2 -o lib/libNetx.so.5.25 net/netx/src/TXNetFile.o net/netx/src/TXNetFileStager.o net/netx/src/TXNetSystem.o net/netx/src/G__Netx.o -Llib -lNet -lRIO -lThread -Lnet/xrootd/src/xrootd/lib -lXrdOuc -lXrdSys -lXrdClient -Llib -lCore -lCint -ldl /usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib64/libgslcblas.a(sasum.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.text' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/lib64/libgslcblas.a: could not read symbols: Bad value collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [lib/libMathMore.so] Errore 1 make: *** In attesa di lavori non terminati... ==> lib/libMatrix.so done ==> lib/libGeom.so done ==> lib/libNetx.so done rm core/utils/src/RStl_tmp.cxx core/utils/src/rootcint_tmp.cxx I flagged this to ROOT guys and they changed the configure test so that if 'libgslcblas.a' is found but built without '-fPIC', MathMore is disabled. This is a pity because on Kubuntu-8.04 ROOT builds fine with all its components.
