[Gate-users] Help with GATE installation

[Claude Comtat]

Hi Steven,

I'm answering you about the ECAT7 part. The compiler can not find the 
ecat7 related header files "matrix.h" and "machine_indep.h". Please 
follow the instructions given in the user's guide:

****************************************************************************

Three files are required: the library file libecat.a and the two header 
files matrix.h and machine_indep.h. To compile Gate with the ecat7 
library without changing the env_gate.csh and GNUmakefile files, the 
environment variable ECAT7_HOME has to be defined and set to the name of 
the home directory where the ecat7 library is installed (for example, 
/usr/local/ecat7). In this ecat7 home directory, two subdirectories 
should be created: lib and include. The header files are put in the 
${ECAT7_HOME}/include directory. For each system, a specific 
subdirectory named after the G4SYSTEM environment variable value should 
be created in the ${ECAT7_HOME}/lib directory. The corresponding library 
file libecat.a has to be located in this ${ECAT7_HOME}/lib/${G4SYSTEM} 
directory. The matrix.h file has to be modified to add the declaration 
of the mh_update() function. The following line can be added in the 
"high level user functions" part of matrix.h:
int mh_update(MatrixFile*);

Hope this helps,

Claude
