Description

With CERN root, following a tutorial, I do:

root [0] .x mymacro.C(42)
Error in <TApplication::ExecuteFile>: macro mymacro.C not found in path .:/usr/share/root/macros:

How do I set the path?

man root refers to ~/.rootrc

See also /etc/root/system.rootrc

Oh! It was a typo, an error in capitalization. root does include macros found in the current directory.
