[Gate-users] Problems with compiling GATE

[franklin pereira]

Hi,

I have a Dell Vostro ( intel core duo processor) with Ubuntu 8.04 installed.
The default version of the gcc compiler is 4.2.3

I recently downloaded Gate3.1.2, Geant4 (version 9.0), ROOT (5.14).

Geant4 compiled without any problems.

However, I am having problems with compiling ROOT-5.14.
I get tons of warnings and then the compilation aborts with the
following error message:

ROOT 5.20, however, compiles cleanly, but gate will not compile with
this version of ROOT as is cannot find the proper function
declarations for the various ROOT functions ( the header files are in
/root/include and this is passed on to the g++ compiler correctly
in the GATE makefile ).


A sample of these error messages are:

My guess is that the function declarations in ROOT5.20 have changed
from version 5.14, therefore the conflict.
However, I am clueless regarding the compilation errors generated
while trying to compile ROOT-5.14.
Is this due to the newer version of gcc that comes with the Ubuntu OS
? I am at a loss and would appreciate help regarding this.

Thanks a lot,
Franklin.
