<div dir="ltr"><div>Hello GATE-users,</div><div><br></div><div>I am trying to set up a four-head SPECT system by creating two 2-head systems, SpectHead1 and SpectHead2, both using the built in SPECThead system. I have found the online documentation outlining how to do this, but I am getting an error I am not sure how to fix. The error does not occur if I run the simulation only using SpectHead1 or only using SpectHead2, but does occur if they are both included. This indicates there is something wrong in how they interact within the simulation - does anyone have a suggestion of what I could do to fix this? <br></div><div><br></div><div>The error message is:</div><div>*** Break *** segmentation violation</div><div>
