[ROOT] I broke ROOT installing ODBC

Hi,

I followed the instructions at

 http://www-numi.fnal.gov/offline_software/srt_public_context/WebDocs/install_products.html#MyODBC

...which I found as the first link from Valeriy's page

http://carrot.cern.ch/~onuchin/RDBC/download.html

I installed unixODBC and MyODBC driver.  (I already have MySQL.)  The 
last thing I did was "add /usr/local/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf and run 
ldconfig".  Everything seemed to go fine.

But now when I go into ROOT, the up-cursor does not provide the previous 
command, and ROOT does not recognize any of its own classes:

root [0] new TCanvas     // nothing happens...
root [1] TString a="bbh"
root [2] cerr<<a<<endl;  // I get no output
root [3]

Does anybody know what I might have done wrong or how to fix it?  Or 
even what I should check?

    - John
