Hello,

V-REP is officially supported on Ubuntu. Some other distributions also work, but it depends. We cannot support all distributions, but what you could do is try to compile things yourself.

Cheers

There is a difference between path where you actually have vrep (/root/home/v-rep) and path mentioned in output (/root/v-rep). It looks like vrep script thinks it is in diferent location, what might be connected to running it as a root user.
I'd strongly advise you to not use root account to everyday work. I'm not sure about it (I can't try it by myself on debian) but if you do the same as normal user and run vrep from your home directory it should work.
The expected path might be like this:
home directory: /home/user
vrep directory: /home/user/v-rep
