Hi Rene,

with the new tar file it still does not work. Apparently there are other
links to libXpm.so. Here is what happens:

CINT/ROOT C/C++ Interpreter version 5.15.06, June 30 2001
Type ? for help. Commands must be C++ statements.
Enclose multiple statements between { }.
Warning: Interpreted class iofstream derived from precompiled class iostream
FI
LE:/usr/root/cint/include/iostream.h LINE:426
!!!There are some limitations regarding compiled/interpreted class
inheritance

 *** Break *** segmentation violation

==========================================================
But I saw that there are patches for 4.0D that I have not yet installed,
maybe that will solve the problem.
