[yt-users] Crashing PDFs and Login screen after Yt installation

[Nathan Goldbaum]

Hi Hector,

Sorry to hear you're having trouble.  The first issue is an easy fix, 
you must install the libssl-dev package before running the install script.

Your OS issues are troubling and we'd like to make sure that this issue 
isn't repeated.

To figure out exactly what happened, we need to know how you ran the 
install script. Unfortunately you haven't given us enough information to 
figure out what went wrong.  Please let us know exactly what you did, 
and if you can, please forward us the install log file for the failed 
installation.

Normally the install script shouldn't be able to write to system 
directories like /usr/local, but if you ran the script using escalated 
privileged (e.g. with sudo), it may have overwritten important system 
files.  In general, the install script is not supposed to be run with 
root privileges.

Cheers,

Nathan
