[Gate-users] Re: Error installing Geant4.9.0 on Ubuntu 7.10

[Simon Stute]

Hi Maria,

This is difficult to say but I think that the problem may come from a
non-necessary package that has erased your good packages. In fact in the
list you gave me (only for mesa packages because xpm are good), I think that
only 4 are necessary and maybe the others have erased the good. See :

libgl1-mesa-dev (latest version) (A free implementation of the OpenGL
API -- GLX development files)
---------------------------------------------------------------> OK
libgl1-mesa-dre (latest version) (A free implementation of the OpenGL
API -- DRI modules)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------->
unnecessary
libgl1-mesa-glx (latest version) (A free implementation of the OpenGL
API -- GLX runtime)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------->
OK
libglu1-mesa (latest version) (The OpenGL utility library (GLU))
---------------> OK
libglu1-mesa-dev (latest version) (The OpenGL utility library
-----------------------> OK
development files)
libgtkgl2.0-1 (latest version) (Gimp Toolkit OpenGL area widget shared
library)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->
unnecessary
libgtkgl2.0-dev (latest version) (Gimp Toolkit OpenGL area widget
include files and static library)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------->
unnecessary
libosmesa6 (latest version) (Mesa Off-screen rendering extension)
---------------------------> unnecessary
libosmesa6-dev (latest version) (Mesa Off-screen rendering extension --
development files)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->
unnecessary
mesa-common-dev (latest version) (Developer documentation for Mesa)
mesa-swx11-source (latest version) (Mesa software rasteriser source --
development files)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->
unnecessary
mesa-utils (latest version) (Miscellaneour Mesa GL utilities)
-------------------------------------> unnecessary
xlibmesa-dri (latest version) (transitional package for Debian etch)
----------------------------> unnecessary
xlibmesa-gl (latest version) (transitional package for Debian etch)
-----------------------------> unnecessary

-----------------------> unnecessary
xlibmesa-glu (latest version) (transitional package for Debian etch)
----------------------------> unnecessary

If your are on Ubuntu and you are using Synaptic, you can see all the
packages that are needed and those which will be removed when you click on
another to install it. Maybe your problem come from this, but if it don't, I
don't really see from where it could be come, because there is no message
printed out. Maybe after reinstalling some package you should recompile your
Geant4 from the beginning (take a new 'tar.gz' file because there is 'make
clean in Geant4).

I precise too that all these indications are given to use (in Geant4
installation) the OpenGLX driver and not any one else.

Good luck,
Simon
