Hello,

I am using RooFit to fit a Voigt distribution to data. I used to do this by asking in my code to convolute a Gaussian with a BW. This was done thanks to a package called FFTW (in CentOS 7). Now, that I tried to do the same in Alma 9, Root was not built with the package . [ If I run 'root-config --has-fftw3'  a 'no' is printed ]

I wanted to ask if the next time we build Root, could we add the flag to include the FFTW package? 

In the meantime, does someone know if I have to download the FFTW package and rebuild Root to have access to it?

Thanks!

igal jaegle.

In principle, you do not need to compile ROOT but you can either copy a pre-compiled version (https://root.cern/install/) or used one on cvmfs (/cvmfs/sft.cern.ch/lcg/app/releases/ROOT)
tks ig.
