[Fares Alhassen]

Thank you and Samuel Burg for the advice. I was able to compile CLHEP
successfully following the instructions in GATE wiki install guide. As for
root, I had asked about that before on this forum and received the advice
below for installing on 64-bit Ubuntu 9.04. I don¹t know how helpful it will
be to you:

Before installing root on 64-bit Ubuntu 9.04 (jaunty jackalope), you need to
update GSL: GSL build:

1. Make a folder for the gsl include and library files. From the
/home/username/ directory:
mkdir gsl

2. Download the gsl source to your main directory (/home/username/). I
downloaded gsl-1.13 and extracted the tar file so that the source folder was
home/username/gsl-1.13

3. Configure, compile, and install gsl. From the /home/username/ directory:
cd gsl-1.13 ./configure ­prefix=/home/username/gsl ­with-pic make make
install

4. Follow the instructions below to download and install root. I used the
SVN method to acquire the source. Use the following configure for root:
./configure --with-gsl-incdir=/home/username/gsl/include ­with-gsl-libdir=/
home/username/gsl/lib ­disable-xrootd

5. Install root by running the followings commands:
make
make install
ldconfig

Sincerely,
Fares
