I am trying to compile the most recent version of ROOT on a Pentium
machine running RedHat 4.2. The compilation proceeds smoothly using
Makefile.linuxrh42 in the source distribution until it attempts to build
root.exe. The following error message results:

g++ -O -o /home/bpc75/sample/cern/root/bin/root.exe MAIN_rmain.o \
-L/home/bpc75/sample/cern/root/lib -lNew -lBase -lCint -lClib -lCont -lFunc -lGraf -lGraf3d -lHist -lHtml -lMatrix -lMeta -lMinuit -lNet -lPhysics -lPostscript -lProof -lTree -lUnix -lZip -lGpad -lGui -lGX11 -lX3d -lXpm -lRint -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX
11 -lg++ -lm -ldl -rdynamic
/home/bpc75/sample/cern/root/lib/libXpm.so: undefined reference to `__curbrk'
/home/bpc75/sample/cern/root/lib/libXpm.so: undefined reference to `__fxstat'
make: *** [/home/bpc75/sample/cern/root/bin/root.exe] Error 1

The first time I attempted to compile it there was a warning before the
undefined reference that said it could not find libc.so.6. As a kludge I
made a soft link to the libc.so that does exist on this machine,
libc.so.5.3.12. That cleared up the warning message, but I have no idea
if this mismatch is related to the undefined references above.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Damon
