ROOT - No graphical output shown

I assume that you work in the following way:

  1. you start your virtual machine in “vmware”
  2. it “boots” and you get a graphical Ubuntu “gdm” / “kdm” / “xdm” window
  3. you “login” as “someuser”, and your “gnome” / “kde” / “afterimage” session starts
  4. you open an “xterm” / “gnome terminal” / “kde terminal” window which runs a “bash” shell
  5. inside of this terminal, you run “. /…/bin/thisroot.sh” and then “root”

Can you check the output of (pay attention to all “absolute paths” reported):
which root
type root
which root.exe
type root.exe
ldd root-config --bindir/root
ldd root-config --bindir/root.exe
ldd root-config --libdir/libCore.so
ldd root-config --libdir/libRint.so
ldd root-config --libdir/libCint.so
