Dear all,

I tried to install from source root on Kubuntu 9.10 using gcc 4.4.1 and I get the following problem when I tried to start it:

I compiled with:

export ROOTSYS=/usr/share/root
./configure --enable-qt
make 
make install
export PATH=$ROOTSYS/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ROOTSYS/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

I didn’t get any problem during the building process.
Is that correlated to http://root.cern.ch/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=9390?
Thank you very much.
Cheers.

Hi,

your installation is broken: either configure with --prefix or don’t run make install. I would put the sources of ROOT to /usr/share/root and simply run ./configure --enable-qt ; make -j4. Before doing that you have to clean your current installation, for that run “make distclean”.

Cheers, Axel.

Oh, yes, sorry Axel.
Now it works, thank you.
Cheers.
