Hi Andreas,

the reason why we have this strict settings is that we had many problems with wrong environment settings. As Stefano already pointed out people have several different Root or Geant versions.
To find problems with mismatches of libraries took so much time that we decide to have a very strict config file.

You are one of very few users which complain about this issue, so I think for most of the users this strict settings are okay. If you don't like this strict settings the best way is to change the config.sh file and add $PATH at the end of the of the "export PATH=" line. The disadvantage is that in case you switch between several versions of pandaroot, your PATH variable will become longer and longer.


Ciao

Florian
