[gate-users] gcc-3.4 compiler problems & spblurring

[Christian Wietholt]

Dear all, 

I just downloaded the latest version of GATE (2.2.0). I also got all the other 
required software in the required versions. When compiling GATE on my Debian 
3.1 system using gcc-3.4 as recommended, GATE's memory usage keeps increasing 
until all memory is used, and the program quites. So I compiled GATE with 
gcc-3.3, and everything seems to be working fine. Am I the only person 
experiencing this kind of problem with 2.2.0? 

I am not sure if this is connected, but when I run my pinhole simulation with 
a point source, I would like to simulated different amount of detector blurr 
using spblurring in the digitizer. After reading the data from the ASCII 
file, the spatial blurring seems to only increase in the y dimension, and z 
is uneffected. I computed the standard deviation of the globalPosY and 
globalPosZ from gateSingles.dat, to verify. Same result, the standard 
deviation in globalPosY is higher than for globalPosZ. The magnitude depends 
on the amount of spatial blurring. 

I appreciate any advice I can get. 

Best Regards, 

Christian
