[Gate-users] Parametrized Macros

[Peter Bloomfield]

Hello,

I have downloaded, compiled and installed V6.0, and after checking the installation with the PET benchmark I went to execute one 
of my own simulations. I have hit a problem parametrized macros.

Using the example from the wiki documentation, it I execute the command
	Gate -a CoincWindow 10 -a lld 350 -a uld 650

I get the following

	[Gate] Sorry, error in a macro command : abort.

which is the same from my own macros. I have the following system
	OS : openSUSE 11.2 (i586)
	Gate : V6.0
	GEANT : V9.2.p01
	root : V5.25.04
	CLHEP : V2.0.4.2
	gcc : version 4.4.1 [gcc-4_4-branch revision 150839] (SUSE Linux)

Any hints/suggestions will be most appreciated, cheers

Peter
