    Hi,
    I'm working on getting brat running under Mac OSX.  So far I have ROOT 
    running fine
    and brat half-running; brat compiles fine, but seems to have trouble 
    with accessing
    the compiled headers.
    
    In any case, I would like to request that the brat developers avoid 
    introducing classes
    whose names are only distinguished by letter case.  Mac OSX does not 
    have a
    case sensitive file system.  At the moment, the only class(es) that 
    cause trouble are:
    /brat/modules/track/combine/BrFSTrackingModule.cxx
    /brat/modules/track/combine/BrFsTrackingModule.cxx
    
    Because of the common names, I am unable to even get both of these files 
    (and, also, the .h files) with cvs checkout.
    
    Regards,
    Steve
    
    p.s. If you have a Mac with OSX and are interested in getting root 
    running along with a somewhat crippled
    BRAT, let me know and I can supply some hints.  Mainly, do NOT follow 
    the instructions linked to from the
    root web site on how to get root running!
