[Gate-users] installing ROOT/GATE on Linux machine

[Remmes, Nicholas B., Ph.D.]

A quick comment on the installation notes.  I had some difficulty
installing the latest release as described in:

http://wiki.opengatecollaboration.org/InstallationGuide

 

The troubles seemed to be in my installation of ROOT.  After looking
through ROOT installation instructions, I made the following
modification to the installation procedures:

 

Rather than using 

./configure --prefix=$PWD

Instead I first define ROOTSYS immediately after extracting ROOT from
the archive file

                export ROOTSYS=/my/nonstandard/ROOT/directory

then just run ./configure without using --prefix

 

All other instructions were unchanged, but it made for a much smoother
installation.
