running jobs using ROOT in batch mode

Hi ROOTers!

I'm trying to run a job using root as histgraming package in batch mode
(I can't run this in interpreter mode, since I have to use some libraries,
which can't be loaded by the interpreter due to missing rootcint-lib).

Trying to start this, the job crashes with the message:

xset: can't open display ""

Since this message doesn't occur when not using root, it has to be due to
root.

I tried to get around this by using

mROOT.SetBatch()

(which was constructed before as TROOT instance)
but this didn't help. What can I do to avoid this problem?

The root version I use is 2.00.12 running on SGI, IRIX 6.2

Any help is welcome.

Thanks, Robert
