I never did the --prefix method of installing ROOT (just use it in the
location where it was compiled), so I'm not too sure.
Sounds to me that the 'make install' part doesn't work properly. But
then I'd assume this would have been detected earlier.

And are the libs in /cern/rootcvs/lib? I would guess you somehow mixed
the two versions of installation. Is /cern/rootcvs also the directory
where you compiled all the stuff? I think I did it like this once
(compile in /some/path and used /some/path also as prefix) and the
install process complained that ROOT was already installed so it did
nothing, but the paths were incorrect later.

I would think a "clean" installation is possible but a dirty hack for
your current installation could be
cd /cern/rootcvs/lib
ln -s . root
Very dirty hack ;-)
