    Hi Andrei, 
    
    First off, this kind of questions belong on brahms-dev-l, not in
    personal emails.  I'd like to advice everyone to use brahms-dev-l for
    questions about software.  There's many good reasons for this: 
    
    * You can be sure someone else will have (now or in the future) the
      same question, and so who ever answers, will only need to answer
      once. 
    
    * The emails on that list are archived for future reference. 
    
    One thing that I'd really like to see, is if RCF could set up a search
    engine on that list. I may have missed something, and it's already
    there, but if not, couldn't we get one?  How about htdig?  We could
    also use that one pii3.brahms.bnl.gov (which I think should be
    www.brahms.bnl.gov) so that searches in all the BRAHMS WWW pages would
    be possible.

    Uh, why do you need that?  If you intend to do some development on
    rcas machines (uh?) then you ofcourse need it.  If you intend to do
    some analysis on the rcas, then you're much better of using the BRAT
    installed in /afs/rhic/opt/brahms/new 
    
    To facilitate the later, add to your PATH environment variable the
    directories: 
    
      /afs/rhic/opt/brahms/new/bin:/afs/rhic/opt/brahms/pro/bin
    
    You'll also have ROOT 3.01/06 avaliable if you do this (No need to
    compile it yourself). 
    
    I hope at some point we'll come up with a way of automatically update
    the new version of BRAT, so that one can always be certain to use the
    latest tag of BRAT when one has 
    
      /afs/rhic/opt/brahms/new/bin
    
    in ones PATH.  For now, patience is a virtue very popular amongst the
    people who can update BRAT.

    If you really Really REALLY need a personal build, you need to use the
    BRAHMS autotools, since the ones that RCF installed on the rcas are
    rotten.  To do that, add to you PATH, the directory 
    
      /afs/rhic/opt/brahms/pro/bin 
    
    > ... Could you please help me to fix this? At the same time on my

    The thing is that the autotools in /usr/bin on the rcas is, as I said,
    rotten, but on your own machine it's probably ok.

    Nice of you to state this, even if it's not really needed in this
    context; however, I do recommend that everyone state things like that
    when asking questions on brahms-dev-l.  A set on information that is
    very usefull, is 
    
      OS:           do uname -a 
      Compiler:     do gcc -v (or what ever your compiler needs) 
      Glibc:        do ll /lib/libc-* 
      ROOT:         do root-config --version 
      BRAT:         do brat-config --version 
    
    Some of these things can be left out if you have a standard setup of
    some Redhat distribution.  For other GNU/Linux distribution and Un*x,
    you should list the things explicitly, since they may not be known to
    all collaborators.  I need not say what you should do, if you're
    working on Windoze, do I? :-)
