Dear experts,

when building GEANT3 v2-7 I get the following error message:

My system is Mac OS Catalina 10.15.3.
I would be happy about any hints or suggestions.

Cheers,

Looks like you are picking up a ROOT installation from the system:

-- Found ROOT 6.18/04 in /usr/local/Cellar/root/6.18.04_2
-- Configuring done
CMake Warning (dev):

This should not happen since ROOT should always be taken from the alidist software stack (right @ktf?).
Please check that you are not setting any environment variables that mislead alibuild.

P.S. Newer versions of ROOT could disable TVirtualMC which seems to be the case in your system ( homebrew ?? ) installation.

Hello Sandro,
indeed, I had sourced thisroot.sh of my brew installation in the .bashrc before starting aliBuild.
I assumed that that the aliBuild system would override the ROOT variables accordingly.
Anyway, thank you very much for your help!

Cheers,
Mario
