I recently installed ROOT 5.25 on my linux computer. Everything is fine, except that it seems not to understand SetMarkerStyle, SetMarkerColor or SetFillColor commands. It would only draw graphs with the default settings, ignoring further instructions.
Now, the odds are I’m missing some obvious library. I configured it with ./configure --enable-{qt,roofit,soversion,asimage,mathmore,minuit2}
--prefix=/usr --with-python-{incdir=/usr/include/python2.6,libdir=/usr/lib}
And I link those libraries while compiling (I have the same problem using CINT anyway):
