Compilation issue for StFwdUtils/StFwdAnalysisMaker.cxx with root6 (SL24x)

[genevb]

Executing the following in an empty directory on SDCC...

    unsetenv NODEBUG
    setup 64b
    starver SL24x config/v0.3.0-rhel7-root6.24.06
    mkdir StRoot
    cp -R $STAR/StRoot/StFwdUtils ./StRoot/
    sed -i 's=//gDirectory=gDirectory=' StRoot/StFwdUtils/StFwdAnalysisMaker.cxx
    cons

....results in the below error, which is why (for now) I have commented out the line with gDirectory in SL24x (probably affecting the use of StFwdAnalysisMaker there)...

Just a ping here. I think this remains un-addressed.

I can take a look if Daniel does not mind

Hi @jdbrice and @plexoos : Is this issue still active? If so, can we address this or otherwise close it as a "won't fix/stale" issue?
