Hi John,
It looks like you have a mismatch in the number of "{","}".
This should be simple to find.
I cannot tell you more without having your include file.
The option "-P" instructs rootcint to use the C preprocessor
before running rootcint. the CPP may help by unrolling
macros or difficult constructs in messy include files.
You can always run with this option. The only side effect
is that it makes rootcint slower.
To use this option, do:
rootcint -f Dict.cxx -c -P -I$ROOTSYS/include myclass.h LinkDef.h
