[Gate-users] Problems with installation of ECAT7 library

[Jan Mickelle Maratas]

Hi,


I once tried and succeeded in using PET_Ecat_System.mac.
I set the following environment variables before installing GATE:

    export ECAT7_HOME=/home/soft/ecat7          # (ECAT7 Home location)
    export GATE_USE_ECAT7=1

Reinstalled GATE and now the PET_Ecat_System.mac
runs with no problem.

Hope it helps!


Best regards,

Mike
