We had recently several reports about ROOT crashing when starting the OpenGL viewer. We have now identified the problem to be with the GL versions shipped with some Linux flavours, including recent versions like FedoraCore2 or SLC3. Please check the file in /usr/include/GL/gl.h If this file indicates 3.4, 3.5 or even worst 5.2, you should upgrade your GL version to the current GL release 6.2. You can import this version from http://mesa3d.org see: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=3&package_id=2436&release_id=272281 Rene Brun
