disk full?
disk quota exceeded?
disk mounted as “read-only”?
Try to run (this should create a 51200 bytes long “trial.dat” file):

It seems to blocked on the first image …
Does it work if you draw some graphics and try to print it in a image ? (with animation)…
Do you see root using a huge amount of cpu when it is blocked ? like being in some infinite loop ?
Does it work if you start root in batch ? (option -b) …
Can you try your macro on an other machine in your lab ?
You have errors when you start root … some fonts not found … is ROOT properly installed on this machine ?
Firstly, in my lab there is only 6.08/02 ROOT release. (The same result there)
Secondly, I have no suspicious memory or CPU usage by ROOT.
Thirdly, I think that options like -b, -l does not working on my machine, though it works in lab’s machines. I was installing ROOT 6 according instructions in User’s Guide. Then I just downloaded other release (5) and replace root folder.
OMG. I tried the above script on my lab’s machine, where I run ROOT in batch mode
and it worked. Thank you. Probably, there were some mistakes in installation of ROOT on my machine.
So you are saying that even the 6.08 version on other machines in your lab do not work either ? that’s even more weird…!
I just did a grep on all the 6* release notes and did not find any mention of a problem like yours with animated gifs …
Good !!! 
In batch mode it works. Thank you one more time.
Are you able to display a simple canvas with your root version… we should have started with that I guess …
I have been using ROOT on my machine for long time. Of course, I am able to draw objects, work with trees and so on. But, for example, I am not able to run ROOT without logo (-l does not work).
Ok . at least you have a solution for this problem … that’s weird any way …
Yes. I am going to reinstall ROOT on my machine.
