Hi,
I have been compiling and installing root v3.05.04 on a debian
I "configure linuxdeb --prefix=/usr/local/root/root_v3.05.04"
The compilation did succeed, I ran the "make install"
a directory tree is created under the appropriate directory with lib, share, 
bin and include, but the dynamic libraries and headers fall into a rather 
unusual directory:
headers are stored under $ROOTSYS/include/root/
libraries are stored under $ROOTSYS/lib/root/ 
binary directory is ok !
The fact that a root subdirectory is created does look correct to me even if 
it not a real problem.
I modified my /etc/profile and everything works fine but I checked on 
previous releases and usually headers where installed in $ROOTSYS/include
and libraries $ROOTSYS/lib as we are used to under *nix system.
I realised the problem when running the test/programs. Invoking make in the 
test directory revealed impossible to find the .so libs. 
root-config --libs and root-config --cflags revealed the correct path for the 
libs and headers but the Makefile in the test directory seems to use 
LD_LIBRARY_FLAG and I had to modified it in /etc/profile to get it work.

Maybe I missed something, otherwise I hope this remark will help debian users 
if it is a debian installation related problem.
Anyway thanks a lot for your very good work and efforts on this project.

I saw the possibility to make some deb packages, is there already a debian 
mirror where we can find precompiled uptodate deb packages ??? Are there 
already some maintainers for such deb packages ?
