[gate-users] Re: compiling on Mac OSX - which GUI and visualization options to choose in Geant4 install?

Hi again!

So I realized that I need the _complete_ OSX Developers installation to  
be able to use the g++3 command (which corresponds to gcc 3.1, not the  
latest version 3.3).  With that change, I was just able to compile  
Geant successfully _without_ any visualization features turned on  
(which is the default Geant4 installation).

However, GATE compilation now gives the following response:

warning: this program uses gets(), which is unsafe.
Using granular libraries ...
Linking Gate ...
g++3: unrecognized option `-rdynamic'
ld: can't locate file for: -lG4OpenGL
make: *** [bin/Darwin-g++/Gate] Error 1

It seems that it is looking for the G4OpenGL stuff after all, which  
unfortunately doesn't seem to compile when selected in the Geant  
install (errors are the same as below, although in a slightly different  
format due to the different compiler gcc 3.1).

Perhaps I am choosing the wrong GUI and visualization options in the  
Geant installer.  Which GUI and visualization options should be  
specified in the Geant installation?
