No automatic gROOT.FindObject

Hallo all,

maybe someone experienced this:

My self compiled root does not do automatic gROOT.FindObject.

If I e.g. run fit1.C from tutorials, I get:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
root [1] .x fit1.C
TFile**         fillrandom.root
 TFile*         fillrandom.root
  KEY: TFormula form1;1 abs(sin(x)/x)
  KEY: TF1      sqroot;1        x*gaus(0) + [3]*form1
  KEY: TH1F     h1f;1   Test random numbers
Error: No symbol sqroot->Print() in current scope  
    FILE:/home/jens/debian/root/root/tutorials/./fit1.C LINE:30
Error: No symbol h1f->SetFillColor(45) in current scope  
    FILE:/home/jens/debian/root/root/tutorials/./fit1.C LINE:35
Error: No symbol h1f->Fit("sqroot") in current scope  
    FILE:/home/jens/debian/root/root/tutorials/./fit1.C LINE:36
fit1      : Real Time =   0.20 seconds Cpu Time =   0.04 seconds
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

in a comment is stated:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   // Get object "sqroot" from the file. Undefined objects are searched
   // for using gROOT->FindObject("xxx"), e.g.:
   // TF1 *sqroot = (TF1*) gROOT.FindObject("sqroot")
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And if I run the line beginning with TF1 all works well.

What might cause this? Have you got a hint?

TIA,

Jens
