Anyways, here's what I did so far (following the directions here):
- I dl'ed root and extracted it to /home/brian/root
- I changed my .bashrc and added
"export ROOTSYS=/home/brian/root
export PATH=$ROOTSYS/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ROOTSYS/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
I saved it, checked my $PATH which looks like:
/home/brian/root/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games
I type "root" in the shell, and nothing happens.
edit: you can tell I'm not much of a computer wiz, so if you have instructions, please make them as easy as possible, lol.
