Matthew, On OpenVMS, ROOTSYS needs to be defined in the following way: ROOTSYS:== $ ROOTSYS :== $SCR:[LANGSTON.ROOT.] if I assume that the root distribution is in $SCR:[LANGSTON.ROOT] Then, later in the login command file, you need to define the symbols to run the program: ie $root:==$'rootsys'[bin]root $rootcint:==$'rootsys'[bin]rootcint The cmz install procedure compiles all the files and builds the libraries as well as links cint. However, it does not yet link root. To do that, you need the following command file. That needs to be cleaned up and put into the cmz, but we have not done that yet. There are several caveats with the VMS Root. One is that it is not advertised to be released as a completed product. The latest version of root that we have compiled and linked is version 2.06. As you may have learned from one or two messages on this list, we have had problems which are not yet solved with loading in sharable libraries (one of the most important parts of root) We decided to solve that problem before proceeding with keeping things going with each latest version root. There is no fundamental reason, however, why it should not work. So what you will build is an executable version of root which can run the tutorials or use any of the root facilities that are built into root. But loading shared libraries does not yet work.
