[gate-users] Installation with gcc 2.96

[Jianfeng He]

Dear Gate users,

Has anybody installed Gate using gcc2.96 before? I am trying to install
Gate on cluster supercomputers called VAPAC. But the gcc version running
on VAPAC is 2.96 while the required gcc version of Gate for installing
is at least 3.2 

I got the following error messages with gcc2.96 during Gate compiling:

Compiling GateDistributionManualMessenger.cc ...
Compiling GateDistributionMessenger.cc ...
src/GateDistributionMessenger.cc:76: prototype for `G4String

Is it a problem about the compatibility between gcc2.96 and gcc3.2?

Would appreciate your suggestions or experiences!
