Hi! I managed to compile root_v4.02.00 on my linux-ppc64 box (dual POWER3, 200MHz) I had to --disable-xrootd (because it claimed that it did not know my arch). Then the file root/asimage/src/libAfterImage/config.guess was too old. I used instead: root/freetype/src/freetype-2.1.3/builds/unix/config.guess and everything compiled fine. started root and got the X11 splash screen, then the text prompt, but I could not type in text. When I killed root from another console, the text I typed appeared at the shell prompt (where I started root and typed in). I have libreadline installed on my system and it seems to work fine. Does root use readline or something different? I also started "sh DrawTest.sh" in test/ which compiled a lot and then complained that libEvent.so does not exist (environment was set correctly. lib/libEvent.so really does not exist) Running "root demos.C" in tutorials/ opened a window (~50x500 pixel) with no content. but that may be due to my slow connection to where the machine is (but I waited rather long...) running "root tb.C" with the file tb.C being "{new TBrowser;}" works fine and opens the TBrowser (rather quick).
