The markers are missing

ROOT
1

Hello!

I have a problem with ROOT v.5.17.04.
I dled the source and tried to compile it. I use the openSUSE 10.3 linux distro and compiled ROOT with gcc 4.2. I have compiled ROOT many times before, but never on this particular distro with such a new compiler version.

As far as I can tell i have met all the requirements for a successful compiling of ROOT. Here’s what my ./configure gives:

To build ROOT type:

   make

The compilation goes without errors and make install works as well.

But when I try to run my macros, almost all the markers are missing in the Canvasses!

Look at this picture which I obtained after creating a Canvas in an otherwise empty macro and clicking on View->Markers:

[img=http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/8914/markersgy4.th.jpg]

When I use the precompiled version I don’t have this problem.
Does anyone know what the problem could possibly be?

This looks like an X11 problem.
When selecting “Draw Markers” in the Canvas menu, could you save the markers canvas as a pdf, ps or gif file and check if markers are present there?

Indeed, the markers are there after saving the canvas to eps. How would I go about solving the issue then? Does the problem lie within ROOT or is it a problem with the (possibly to new) X server?

Edit : I use xorg-X11 version 7.2 and the corresponding libraries

My understanding is that on SUSE you should run with xorg-x11-devel
