Hi Nick,
I am suspecting a problem with your ".rootrc" file.
Your main program is correct. Note that you can remove the line:
int Error; ..needed by Motif
Root does not use Motif anymore.
I suggest you copy $ROOTSYS/tutorials/.rootrc file in your directory
and try again. If this solves the problem, please send me a copy
of your existing .rootrc file to understand what could generate this
crash.
