Hello François,
I am sorry. It sounds I misunderstood the problem missing your
". . .one has problems after that with makefile. . ."
Can you tell me how I can reproduce the problem?
Is it Win 9x?
For the Win9x family the installation mentioned below introduced one
extra environment variable, namely ROOTPATH along with ROOTSYS.
ROOTPATH is a "short version" of ROOTSYS, that can be used to avoid the
confusion within any user Makefile.
Check you autoexec.bat file after installation to see ROOTSYS and
ROOTPATH values.
Thank you, Valeri
