Perhaps a few lines from your build would be good.

Also, try to compile a small program using your private GCC installation, and use the `-V' option to see all the stuff going on. So do something like

        cat > testit.cc <<EOF
        #include <iostream>
        int main()
        {
           std::cout << "Hello, World" << std::endl;
           return 0;
        }
        EOF
        g++ -V testit.cc -o testit
        

(no pseudo-code - the above is executable :-)

And try to run the program. Also check with `ldd' that it depends on the proper Standard C++ library. If any of this fails, it's due to your build of GCC.

Aha, so it's because libASImage was compiled using the `older' GCC compiler (most likely at least). `ldd' libASImage to see the dependecies. Could be a problem in the ROOT build, or because a sub-shell. Check that you do not set PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, or similar in `.bashrc', `.cshrc', `.tcshrc', or similar. also make sure that none of the system versions of these resets any of these environment variables.

Note to all: Setting environment variables should _only_ be done in login scripts. You may end up messing up your machine if you set environment variables in your `.bashrc', `.cshrc', `.tcshrc', or similar.

Yours,
