Hello Dr. Brett, >Second, ROOT is independent from RDBC and RDBC doesn't need to be, nor >should it be, installed in $ROOTSYS, so I can't see how installing >"ODBC stuff" can effect normal ROOT usage.

There was no attempt to make it generic.

I assure you I am not trying to collect on a warrantee. On the other hand, I'm using FLRH9.0, which I expected would be same as or similar to MINOS. >ROOT proper knows nothing of RDBC > You might be right, because I never installed RDBC by itself. There was no mention of such on the pages I referenced. Maybe if I do install that package, all will be well again. ROOT apparently does know about either MyODBC or unixODBC, because as I said they were the only changes to my set up. I will look into RDBC and some other points you raise.
