Thanks for the help. The latter suggestion (copying libXpm.so and
libXpm.a to $ROOTSYS/lib) worked as far as getting the compiling to finish
was concerned. Now I have a ROOT executable that will start, but it has a
couple of funny error messages at the beginning:
[sample@bpc75 root]$ root
/home/bpc75/sample/cern/root/bin/root.exe: can't
resolve symbol '__fxstat' dlopen error: Unable to resolve symbol Load
Error: Dynamic link library /home/bpc75/sample/cern/root/lib/libttf.so can
not load

Type ? for help. Commands must be C++ statements.
Enclose multiple statements between { }.
root [0] .q
It would be nice to lose these error messages as well. Any ideas would be
appreciated.
Thanks,
