Proper way to push a view controller

Question

I have a UIViewController that I wish to push onto the stack, however, when I call [viewController release] on it after I push it, any time I pop it off of the stack however, I get various errors pertaining to deallocated instances of the view controller. Here is an example of an implementation:

        RootViewController *rootViewcontroller = [[RootViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"RootViewController" 
                                                                                          bundle:nil];
        [self.navigationController pushViewController:rootViewController animated:YES];
        [rootViewController release];

Answer 1

In the code that you showed you create rootViewController but actually push personsViewController. Typo? Or did you paste the wrong code?
