[Gate-users] root commands in SPECT benchmark

[Daniel Woodsworth]

Hi,

I am trying to run the SPECT benchmark (eg. >Gate SPECTbench.mac).
Everything runs fine until the section RANDOM in the macro:

# RANDOM
# Change the root of the random module to run different simulations
/gate/output/root/setSaveRndmFlag 1

when running, this gives

***** COMMAND NOT FOUND </gate/output/root/setSaveRndmFlag 1> *****
***** Command ignored *****
Graphics systems deleted.
Visualization Manager deleting...

ROOT is installed and runs; my ROOT environment variables are set. However
when I use ls in GATE to look for the root commands, it appears that Gate
simply hasn't installed the root commands:

Idle> ls /gate/output
Command directory path : /gate/output/


Guidance :

 Sub-directories :
   /gate/output/fastanalysis/   ...Title not available...
   /gate/output/analysis/   ...Title not available...
   /gate/output/digi/   ...Title not available...
   /gate/output/ascii/   ...Title not available...
   /gate/output/projection/   ...Title not available...
   /gate/output/interfile/   ...Title not available...
 Commands :
   describe * List of the output manager properties
   verbose * Set GATE output manager verbose level
Idle>

Also there are no titles or descriptions. I wonder if maybe somehow Gate
did not finish building this section. I sourced my env_gat.csh file and
got:

GATE/gate_v3.1.1> source env_gate.csh

Done

and rebuilt Gate, with no errors. As you can see ROOT and ROOT real-time
plotter are both enabled. Has anyone ran into this? I posted part of my
.cshrc file below, as well as some system specs.

Thanks for all the help.
