[gate-users] Installation problems

I tried to install GEANT4 and GATE, but I've not yet tested it, and I'm
not sure if I got it right. I tried to email Dr. Corinne Groiselle, since
she has a successful install on a Suse box but I've not yet recieved any
reply...
Btw, the gate-users mailing list scrubs all the attached files, so it's
impossible to retrieve the cookbook she mentioned in an older mail... :(

Could you post the link with the tutorial???
If you experienced problems only with ROOT you could try installing Gentoo-Linux
since ROOT is part of the portage tree (a beutiful tool to download and
install apps). This means that the cookbook to install ROOT is quite simple:
type "emerge ROOT" :)
Btw, it would be beautiful if also GEANT4 and GATE could be added to the
portage tree.... If only my geek skills were better... if I try to do it,
is there somebody I could ask for advice??


Thanks!
