Hi, I once tried and succeeded in using PET_Ecat_System.mac. I set the following environment variables before installing GATE: export ECAT7_HOME=/home/soft/ecat7 # (ECAT7 Home location) export GATE_USE_ECAT7=1 Reinstalled GATE and now the PET_Ecat_System.mac runs with no problem. Hope it helps!

I've successfully installed and run GATE for a week or so now when I decided I probably need the ECAT7 output as well.. (I omitted that the first time I installed GATE). Anyway, I've installed the package according to the guide at "<a href="http://cc.in2p3.fr/docenligne/674/en" target="_blank">http://cc.in2p3.fr/docenligne/674/en</a>". I've thus run <pre>> cd <...>/gate/ECAT > make -f Makefile.unix > rm *.o > mkdir <...>/gate/gate_v5.0.0/ECAT > mkdir <...>/gate/gate_v5.0.0/ECAT/lib > mkdir <...>/gate/gate_v5.0.0/ECAT/lib/Linux-g++ > mkdir <...>/gate/gate_v5.0.0/ECAT/include </pre>After this I copy the files "matrix.h" and "machine_indep.h" into the ECAT/include directory and I copy the file "libecat.a" into ECAT/lib/Linux-g++. I found on a previous thread that it was best to completely recompile GATE, with make clean and all... so I remove and reinstall GATE (note that I have NOT set the ECAT7_HOME variable yet!): <pre>> cd <...>/gate/gate_v_5.0.0 > make clean (I also remove the tmp directory) > make After successful GATE compilation I set > export ECAT7_HOME=<...>/gate/ECAT I try and run the example PET_Ecat_System.mac in GATE, with default sinogram and ecat7 output, but it seems the ECAT7 library isn't found or something: .... GATE object: 'digitizer/finalCoinc' Is enabled? Yes Nb of elements: 0 Attached to: 'digitizer' Output: 'finalCoinc' ***** COMMAND NOT FOUND </gate/output/sinogram/StoreDelayed> ***** ***** Batch is interupted!! ***** Graphics systems deleted. Visualization Manager deleting... GateRTPhantomMgr deleting... [ida@localhost example_PET_Scanner]$ .... If I remove the sinogram output and only use ecat7 output I instead get ... ***** COMMAND NOT FOUND </gate/output/ecat7/enable> ***** .... </pre>When I try to compile GATE with the ECAT7_HOME variable set BEFORE compilation I don't get a successful linking: ....

My question is do you set the ECAT7_HOME variable before or after GATE compilation, and how do you get GATE to enable to ECAT7 output? Thanks in advance! /Ida </blockquote></div></div></div> _______________________________________________ Gate-users mailing list <a href="mailto:Gate-users@lists.healthgrid.org">Gate-users@lists.healthgrid.org</a> <a href="http://lists.healthgrid.org/mailman/listinfo/gate-users" target="_blank">http://lists.healthgrid.org/mailman/listinfo/gate-users</a> </blockquote></div> -- ################################################################# Computational High Energy Physics Laboratory, Physics Department, College of Science and Mathematics, MSU - Iligan Institute of Technology A.
