-== PyRoot ==
-For those who are interested to have PyROOT running on their NIKHEF linux
-desktop, here is my recipe:
-Download python: http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.3.5/Python-2.3.5.tgz <br>
-tar xvzf Python-2.3.5.tgz<br>
-cd Python-2.3.5<br>
-mkdir ../python_dir
-<br>
-. Install it in your home dir(for example) by compiling it with options:<br>
-<br>
-./configure --enable-shared --prefix=$HOME/python_dir <br>
-make <br>
-make install <br>
-. Add in your .tcshrc file the following lines:<br>
-setenv ROOTSYS /project/bfys/root/root-5.10.00 <br>
-setenv PATH ${ROOTSYS}/bin:${PATH} <br>
-setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH <br>
-setenv PYTHONDIR $HOME/python_dir/lib/python2.3 <br>
-setenv PYTHONPATH $HOME/python_dir/lib/python2.3 <br>
-setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ${ROOTSYS}/lib:${PYTHONDIR}:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH} <br>
-setenv PYTHONPATH ${ROOTSYS}/lib/:${PYTHONPATH} <br>
-. Then, the last thing one should do is: <br>
-cd $HOME/python_dir/lib/python2.3 <br>
-ln -s  $HOME/python_dir/lib/libpython2.3.so.1.0 libpython2.3.so.1.0
-. Try it:<br>
-$HOME/python_dir/bin/python <br>
->>> import ROOT <br>
-. If you don't get any strange warnings or errors, then everything is working ... :) <br>
