[Gate-users] Random generation mechanism in Gate 5

[Simon Stute]

Hi Yonggang,

It is strange that the first line causes abortion of the simulation ... but
as it is the case, you have to delete it, manually (very annoying) or in the
source code of the gjs program. To do so, open the
Cluster_Tools/jobsplitter/src/GateMacFileParser.cc file and comment line
number 289 (the line that says: 'output<<"/gate/output/root/setSaveRndmFlag
0"<<endl;'), and recompile the gjs program.

The second line is necessary because it will set a different seed for each
job.

The third line, I think, is added when you have not clearly disabled the
ascii output in your original macro file. So add the command
/gate/output/ascii/disable.

Tell us if something goes wrong again.
Cheers,
Simon
