I’m sorry to say that as a newcomer to Linux I’m not able to install the latest version of Root at Ubuntu 15.10. Can anyone please give me a step by step instruction on how to install it to get it fully functional? It would be much appreciated.

The instructions are explained in this post:
Ok, I managed to build ROOT6 master (6.07.03) in Debian stretch (sid), by downgrading first the default gcc compiler (5.3) to 4.8. Now all error messages about ABIs, zmq and so on have disappeared.
I did this with the update-alternatives method described here: http://askubuntu.com/a/26518 . I post the complete workflow, in case someone has the same problem.
sudo apt-get install git dpkg-dev make g++ gcc binutils libx11-dev libxpm-dev \
libxft-dev libxext-dev
sudo apt-get install gfortran libssl…
You have maybe to replace the version numbers appearing in that instructions, eg. 4.8 with 4.9 or sth similar, check your package manager.
