I use the ROOT analysis data framework for work, and it isn't available in the repos anymore (removed from 11.04 due problems compiling due to directory changes in Debian, I think I read).

Anyone tried to compile this is in 11.10, or know if it will be made available later?

Searching for answers is made difficult by its ridiculous name.

I've managed to install root 5.32 from source using thses instructions and being careful to include all the necessary pre-requisites.

Using Ubuntu 11.10 32 bit is easier, 64 bit root looks for libraries in the wrong places as Ubuntu changed its structure in 11.04, a fix was to manually copy them.

I think it was only copying or linking from here /usr/local/lib/X11/libX11* to /usr/lib32/

Bit more detail on How do I install root-cern?
