[ROOT] install on sparc-linux

Hi,
I am trying to install root v3.01/06 and/or v3.02/04 on a Sun
SparcStation 10 that is running RedHat 6.2. The processor is actually a
Ross Hypersparc, which is a different though comaptible CPU to the TI
SuperSparcs that usually run in  SS10's. There are two problems: First,
when I attempt to compile root it stops at TUnixSystem with an error
that FIONBIO and FIOREAD are undefined and ioctl is undeclared. I can
fix this by adding at the bottom of base/inc/RConfig.h "#define
R__LINUX" since it does not seem to be seeing that my machine is  linux
machine and so the proper include files are skipped in TUnixSystem.cxx.
The second problem is that now root compiles, but when I attempt to run
it the splash screen comes up but then just dumps me to the prompt and
drops a core. Any ideas? I have compiled many programs on this machine,
such as the kernel, openssh, and lyx, whith no problems what so ever.

Thanks in advance,
Chad
