Hi Charles, You could try installing the ROOT RPMs (many Linux users use theses, and they are known to work). If you want to try the ROOT RPMs, type the following 2 commands: rpm -ivh ftp://ftp.slac.stanford.edu/users/langston/root/2.25.01/root-gcc-c++-2.95.2- 2.25.01-1.i386.rpm rpm -ivh ftp://ftp.slac.stanford.edu/users/langston/root/2.25.01/root-gcc-c++-2.95.2- examples-2.25.01-1.i386.rpm Then type "switch_root", follow the instructions it gives you, type "root" and type ".x benchmarks.C". If you try this and it still doesn't work, let me know. If this works, and you want to use the ROOT in these RPMs, then be aware that it was compiled with the g++ from gcc 2.95.2. This will only be a problem for you if you want to link external programs and libraries with the ROOT libraries. If this is a problem, then you would either have to install gcc 2.95.2 or rebuild the ROOT RPMs with your C++ compiler (i.e. rpm --rebuild ftp://ftp.slac.stanford.edu/users/langston/root/2.25.01/root-gcc-c++-2.95.2- 2.25.01-1.src.rpm). Both of theses tasks are straightforward.
