Problem trying to install ROOT (by CERN) on 11.04 i386

Question

I hope you can help me with this problem.

I am trying to install root in my computer, but I have a problem and I don't know what to do to solve it.

I've downloaded the tar file with the root version that I want to install. I've extracted the files in the tar file. I've run the configure program successfully, but when I run make command, I get this result:

cp /root/root/core/utils/src/RClStl.cxx core/utils/src/RClStl_tmp.cxx 
bin/rmkdepend -R -fcore/utils/src/RClStl_tmp.d -Y -w 1000 -- -pipe -m32 -Wall -W -Woverloaded-virtual -fPIC -Iinclude -DR__HAVE_CONFIG -pthread -UR__HAVE_CONFIG -DROOTBUILD -I/root/root/core/utils/src -D__cplusplus -- core/utils/src/RClStl_tmp.cxx

fatal error: clang/AST/AST.h: No existe el fichero o el directorio compilation terminated. make: * [core/utils/src/RClStl_tmp.o] Error 1 rm core/utils/src/RClStl_tmp.cxx

I don't know what to do. Please, help me.

I think you're probably missing the clang library: as you can see at the end of the error message it's complaining about not finding the clang/AST/AST.h file. Try to install libclang-dev.

sudo apt-get install libclang-dev
