Path settings

ROOT
1

Dear all,

I am new to root and would like to explore its capabilities for AMO physics data that so
far we are analysing with other packages.

Two questions arise in the context of my first experiments:
i) The tutorials are distributed over a range of subdirectories. Is it possible to set the macro search path such that all of these are searched for?
ii) I have the impression that root is ignoring the setting of ROOTSYS which I produce via

setenv ROOTSYS mypath
and is rather falling back to something which has been set during compile time. Any comments?

[/quote]Note that you also need to set PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH. You can usually use ‘source mypath/bin/thisroot.csh’ to set all the necessary variable.

Cheers,
