AFAIK, this is caused by linking 'bratmain' against the ROOT GUI libraries (those extra libs you get if you do `root-config --glibs` instead of `root-config --libs`), which is unfortunatly needed at the moment, since some classes in BRAT uses the class TGeometry, TNode, TShape, and so on. The classes in question is the ones in modules/evdisp, which is referenced by classes in modules/track. I've pointed out this weakness several on several occations [1], and asked the relevant people to do something about it. Alas, nothing of the sort has happened. I've earlier proposed making the event display - when ever it may see the light of day - a seperate software package, ofcourse dependent on BRAT, much in the same line as BROP. Currently, it seems to me - and please correct me if I'm wrong - that we have two or three pieces of software that essentially does the same thing i.e., display events. We should merge those to different pieces together into a (new?) software package, say BRED (pronounced "breed", short for BRahms Event Display). To summarize: Who ever knows about the classes in modules/evdisp, please remove them from BRAT. [1] If we had a search engine on our list archives I could give you exact references, but as it is now, it would take too much time to find it, so I just couldn't be bothered.
