Hi Matt,

Thanks for the instructions.  But two questions:

1) how does this solve my problem?  I was getting a fatal internal
compiler error.  Nowhere do I see how you modify the source code so
how will this stop the internal compiler error.

2) you state that there is no way that the ROOT team can supply a
binary tarball which will work for RedHat X.X unconditionally, even if 
users begin from the exact same CD.  But if I were to do the
following:

1) specify a version of redhat
2) specify dependencies (which packages of redhat must be installed)
3) specify that errata must be applied up til some date
4) specify that none of dependencies should be upgraded above the
     redhat "stock+erratum" level

then what is the mechanism for failure of the ROOT tarball to work?
Many other packages work just fine like this.
