[Gate-users] help with Geant4 Ubuntu installation

[Simon Stute]

Hi,

First it is obvious that if the compilation failed, the linkage of your
examples will fail, because some G4 libraries have not been created !
The error message in the G4 compilation concerns clhep (G4visHepRep), and if
you have a quick look at the G4 recommendations on the different clhep
versions that are compatible with each G4 version, you will see that to
compile the G4.9.1, clhep 4.0.4.2 is needed, and not 4.0.4.4, I think that
is the reason.

Good luck,
Simon
