You didn’t write how you “installed” ROOT … and it seems to me that something is wrong in there …
In general, you have two choices:
- use my installation instructions (ROOT’s “etcdir” is automatically set to “${ROOTSYS}/etc”): [url]Installing ROOT from Source
- configure your ROOT adding “–prefix=/Where/You/Want/To/Install/It --etcdir=/Where/You/Want/To/Install/It/etc/root” (if you do not set “etcdir”, it will default to “/etc/root”, regardless of what your “prefix” is)
