[gate-users] GATE running problems

[Bing Bai]

Thanks Theo, I found the old posts about vector size being 1. That's OK. 
However I could not find any post explaining what vector size=4 means. And 
it seems to be related to the crash.
I CHECK VERY CAREFULLY that everyting I used MATCH EXACTLY what was posted 
on the GATE website. However I have a 64bit machine... Maybe GATE does not 
work on 64bit machine, even compiled in 32bit?

Thanks again,
Bing
