A good way to insure some sort of backward compatiblity (in terms of ROOT), if there's some older alternative, is to do if ROOT_VERSION_CODE >= ROOT_VERSION(3,2,7) // new code #else // Old code #endif ROOT 3.02/07 is the production release from ROOT, so that should be rather stable. I believe it's either that version or 3.02/06 installed on /afs/rhic/opt/brahms. As I've pointed out a couple of times, it's rather easy to make Red Hat Package Manager packages (RPMs) of ROOT (and BRAT for that matter). Check out the README/INSTALL, or go to my web-page [1] to download 'em. I think Fons will start distributing RPMs from the main web-site soon. Hence, it should be rather easy to keep your Red Hat (and Debian :-) system up-to-date. If you install the RPMs or DEBs, the binaries live in /usr/bin, /usr/lib/root is in /etc/ld.so.conf, man(1) pages are in /usr/share/man, and so on, so you needn't do anything but rpm -i libroot-dev-3.02.07-1.i386.rpm \ libroot-3.02.07-1.i386.rpm \ root-bin-3.02.07-1.i386.rpm \ root-cint-3.02.07-1.i386.rpm \ root-daemon-3.02.07-1.i386.rpm \ root-doc-3.02.07-1.i386.rpm \ root-gl-3.02.07-1.i386.rpm \ root-mysql-3.02.07-1.i386.rpm \ root-star-3.02.07-1.i386.rpm \ root-ttf-3.02.07-1.i386.rpm or for Debian: apt-get install task-root Making RPMs for BRAT is pretty easy too. Please refer to 'The Guide'. The point of making RPMs of BRAT is so that you can keep things like laptops and similar up-to-date easily.
