I did make EXTRA_CXXFLAGS="-DHAVE_CONFIG -Iinclude -I/afs/rhic/opt/brahms/root/opus-x11" instead. It should work. > P. S. I was not frustrated with Solaris per se.

Ah, I was expecting you to say something like that, you belonging to "The Church of VMS" and all.

As Konstantin pointed out, it's not a Unix problem, but rather a Solaris problem, namely that Sun ships X with headers that are not ANSI compliant. If I was to say anything - and I guess I will - then I'd say it's not a problem with Solaris per se, but a problem when you use Commercial Operating Systems like Solaris, VMS!, Digital Unix, Windoze, MacOS X, and so on; it is rather interresting to note, that OpenSource OSs like FreeBSD and Linux are most often the most standard compliant OSs. Ok, so you may argue that X is not part of the operating system per se, and surely you a right, but working with distributions, like Redhat, Debian, FreeBSD(?), X is most often packaged in the same distribition, thereby giving it an OS component-like quality. I do wonder how the ROOT team compiles ROOT on Solaris if the headers are the same all over.
