Re: Error while loading shared libraries: libCore.so

Hi Marcelo,

Does your /etc/ld.so.conf (or /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*) contain /usr/local/lib? If not, add it and run ldconfig.

Did you first configure with --prefix? Or did you configure only the second time with --prefix? You'll need to make distclean before rebuilding with such a fundamental change.

In general we recommend using the --prefix-less build where you specify $ROOTSYS, and where you run ROOT from within its build directory (that you can copy to e.g. /opt/root if you like).

Cheers, Axel.
