Re: ROOT lib dir

Hi Cedric,
what Ubuntu are you using? As for my installation, from Ubuntu 9.04 the installation steps described on
http://root.cern.ch/drupal/content/installing-root-source are just fine... The installation at a independent location actually works better as I can have different Root-Versions at a time. Are you sure that you meet all the requirements called by ./configure? Cheers, Stephan
