Hi,

   we run on Ubuntu 9.10 and 10.04 without problem. Try the following:

cd root
./configure
make

to run do:
. bin/thisroot.sh
root

For all prerequisites see:
http://root.cern.ch/drupal/content/build-prerequisites

All the other configure options are not needed for a default single user install.

Cheers, Fons.
