Useful Tools
LaTeX
Kile is a fully integrated environment for writting LaTeX documents. It
provides tools for inserting all the math sysbols and keboard shortcuts
for compiling the dvi and then viewing it. It's quite useful.

Dowload the Redhat 7.3 RPM: kile-1.32-rh7.3.i386.rpm
Redhat 7.3 turns out to be the version most used in the Particle
Physics Group.
Compilers and ROOT
The default compiler and version of ROOT on the fate machines is
outdated. fate-3 has more recent version of these tools installed
however, they are not default. To use gcc 3.2.3 and ROOT 3.05 on fate-3
execute these commands:
export ROOTSYS=/net/cern/root-3.05
export PATH=$ROOTSYS/bin:/usr/local/gcc-3.2.3/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/gcc-3.2.3/lib:$ROOTSYS/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
or alternative download a bash script called newroot-gcc
and excute the following command:
source newroot-gcc
Integrated Development Environment (IDE)
When I work on TBRootAna I like to use an IDE to write the code. It is
generally faster for me then using emacs or vi. This, of course, a
mater of my own particular skills and tates. The IDE I use is KDevelop.
KDevelop comes with redhat 7.3 and therefore is available on all the
fate machines. If you would like to use KDevelop with TBRootAna
please download the project file and
place it in the TBRootAna directory. Then start KDevelop with the
command 'kdevelop'. Next you will need to open the project file by
going to the project menu (see below).
