[gate-users] installation questions on Opteron with Redhat

[Bing Bai]

Thanks Seb!
I think the first problem is related to Geant4.7.1p01, however the second 
one (number of randoms) is related to GATE2.2.0, because when I installed 
GATE 2.2.0 with Geant4.6.2p01 it still report randoms more than 23k. And I 
remember seeing other people report similar result in this mailing list 
for GATE 2.2.0. Maybe you should update the result on the installation 
guide?

Cheers,
Bing
