Hello Tim, Ernie, Jason, Simon,

PROBLEM: Ernie, Tim, please fix:
/home/blast/... is currently not visible from blast02.

Your compiling problem seems to occur on the Red-Hat 7.0 on blast05
(also tried blast04), but not on Red-Hat 7.1 (my machine) or Red-Hat
6.2.
Tong seems to be correct, the installation of ROOT on /usr/local/root is
to blame. I think that this is a bad version and needs updating. I have
tried root version 2.25/03 and 3.01/06, both work fine. The older
2.24/05 on /usr/local/root does not work.
