I am trying to install this software called acqu-root. It depends on the main software called root. I managed to install the main software but having problems with the acqu-root. I get the following error.

[kabi@localhost build]$ cmake ..

Best Answer

You need to install lzma-devel using yum (Fedora, RHEL, CentOS...), or liblzma-dev using apt-get or aptitude (Debian, Ubuntu...); it contains LibLZMA which the CMake configuration is looking for.
