user defined function fails

Hello,

I have this function defined in tmp.C:

#include "Riostream.h"
#include "TH1.h"
#include "TF1.h"
#include "TLegend.h"
#include "TCanvas.h"

// Fitting. Based on FittingDemo.C
// Quadratic background function
Double_t background(Double_t *x, Double_t *par) {

   return par[0] + par[1]*x[0] + par[2]*x[0]*x[0]; }

When I try to execute it I get:

root [1] .x tmp.C
.x tmp.C
Limitation: Function can not be defined in a command line or a tempfile You need to write it in a source file FILE:tmp.C LINE:11 *** Interpreter error recovered ***

As the comment says, it is a fragment taken from FittingDemo.C (which runs perfectly, and which I am trying to adapt to my needs).

Can anyone help?

Thanks,
