Problems installing root with --prefix=$HOME/.local

ROOT
4
  1. if you configure ROOT using “–prefix” you should not define ROOTSYS in advance -> try something like (there should be no need to modify “ld.so.conf” in this case ):

unset ROOTSYS ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --etcdir=/usr/local/etc/root --enable-explicitlink --enable-rpath --enable-soversion --all make sudo make install

  1. see the output of my root-config commands and compare to what you actually set

  2. If you use “my installation method”, see also:
