Error "Could NOT find X11 (missing: X11_X11_INCLUDE_PATH X11_X11_LIB)" with custom cmake

[anushree85]

Hi,
I am installing Fairsoft latest release apr21_patches. As the first step, I use bootstrap-cmake.sh to upgrade the CMake version as the version of the system's make is 2.8.12.
During built of ROOT, I got the following error:

  Could NOT find X11 (missing: X11_X11_INCLUDE_PATH X11_X11_LIB)

gmake[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:4525: CMakeFiles/root.dir/all] Error 2

However, in the system X11 is already installed.

Thanks for your help!

Which OS / Distribution are you using?
Have you installed all the dependencies as listed in the appropriate setup routing?

Hi,
I am using CentOS-7.
I reinstalled everything from scratch following the instructions and now Fairsoft is installed successfully. Thanks for your help.
