[Gate-users] Problem on benchmarkPET

[Tae Hyong Kim]

Hi.

I have tried to run benchmarkPET and I found some error and warning
messages as following.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First, could you let me know what the problem on this benchmark is?
It seems to me that Gate could not find Materials properly.
So I copy Materials.xml and GateMaterials.db to my working directory.
But, I still have the same messages when I run benchmarkPET.
I also set the G4version variable as following.
G4VERSION=8.0
G4WORKDIR=/san1/projects/nucmed/rutaoyao/gate/gate_3.0/geant4.8.0.p01

Second, I am wondering that these messages could be ignored or not if this
did not give severe bad effects on the result of a simulation.

Thank you in advance.

Sincerely,
Taehyong Kim
