[ROOT] Libraries with Namespaces

  Hello ROOTers,

   I am using ROOT CVS as of Monday morning.  I am trying to make a
libraray with a class inside of a namespace.  I am able to compile using
ACLIC and make, but I get a different behaviour in each case.

  If I compile with ACLIC:

root [0] .L Probe.cc++     
Info in <TUnixSystem::ACLiC>: creating shared library
/home/rainman/rfliller/ual1/examples/CINT/./Probe_cc.so
root [1] g=new UAL::Probe()
This is the constructor
(class UAL::Probe*)0x8b57700
root [2] UAL::Probe h()    
Limitation: Function can not be defined in a command line or a tempfile
You need to write it in a source file FILE:(tmpfile) LINE:1
*** Interpreter error recovered ***
root [3]

and for the case that I use make:

root [0] gSystem->Load("Probe.so")
(int)0
root [1] g=new UAL::Probe()       
Error: Can't call Probe::Probe() in current scope FILE:(tmpfile) LINE:1
Possible candidates are...
Error: class,struct,union or type Probe not defined  FILE:(tmpfile) LINE:1
filename       line:size busy function type and name  
Warning: Automatic variable g is allocated FILE:(tmpfile) LINE:1
Error: Undeclared variable g FILE:(tmpfile) LINE:1
*** Interpreter error recovered ***
root [2] UAL::Probe h()           
Limitation: Function can not be defined in a command line or a tempfile
You need to write it in a source file FILE:(tmpfile) LINE:1
*** Interpreter error recovered ***
root [3]

I am puzzled by this.  Of course the easy answer is not to use a
namespace.  But for this application, I would like to keep the namespace.

I have attached the class definition files, the LinkDef file and the make
file.

Thank you.
