Note that a pre-requisite of the oxbridge kinetics mt2 library is a working ROOT installation in which minuit2 support has been unabled.

ATTENTION! The ROOT authors now seem to be releasing versions of ROOT in which the minuit2 libraries are not built by default. You can find out whether minuit2 support is compiled into your version of ROOT by executing the following command:
root-config --has-minuit2
If you see the output "yes" then you are ok. If you see the output "no" then you need to get a version of root with minuit2 support compiled in.

(Note that if you see an error such as "bash: root-config: command not found" then make sure you have a ROOT installation and that you have sourced the necessary setup scripts to get the ROOT commands into your path!)

If you need to build ROOT from source, bear in mind that a default build of the May 2012 version of ROOT does not enable minuit2: 

bash$ mkdir /tmp/somewhere
bash$ cd /tmp/somewhere
bash$ mkdir -p /tmp/somewhere/usr/local
bash$ wget ftp://root.cern.ch/root/root_v5.32.03.source.tar.gz
bash$ tar -xzvf root_v5.32.03.source.tar.gz
bash$ cd root
bash$ ./configure --prefix=/tmp/erm/usr/local/

... snip lots of output ...

Enabled support for asimage, astiff, builtin_afterimage, builtin_ftgl, builtin_glew, builtin_lzma, castor, cintex, exceptions,
explicitlink, fink, genvector, krb5, ldap, mathmore, memstat, mysql, odbc, opengl, pgsql, python, reflex, rfio, shadowpw,
shared, ssl, tmva, x11, xft, xml.

To build ROOT type:

   make
   make  install
To enable minuit2 support, you (or your system administrator) must request it manually by adding "--enable-minuit2" to the configure line like this: 
bash$ mkdir /tmp/somewhere
bash$ cd /tmp/somewhere
bash$ mkdir -p /tmp/somewhere/usr/local
bash$ wget ftp://root.cern.ch/root/root_v5.32.03.source.tar.gz
bash$ tar -xzvf root_v5.32.03.source.tar.gz
bash$ cd root
bash$ ./configure --prefix=/tmp/erm/usr/local/ --enable-minuit2
