What is your environment ? Before asking Windows to load DLL ROOT checks the access
to that library on its own
In this case the path to look up is picked from the system.rotor file. The later itself is found under
%ROOTSYS%/etc. To get the "Windows" behavior the %ROOTSYS%\bin should be in your PATH
and ROOT search path (within ".rootrc" file) should include $PATH.
Anyway first make sure your env variables do match that ?
You may want to find system.rootrc and edit it to replace
Root.ShowPath: false
with
Root.ShowPath: true
Then you should get some extra output from ROOT. That may help us to sort things out.
I woiuld recommenr you to install ROOT from
http://www.usatlas.bnl.gov/~fine/downloadRoot.html
This should set your env properly and automatically.
Hope this helps,
Valeri
