[Gate-users] Can't run parameterized macros in Gate v6.0.0

[Wang Hongkai]

Hello,

Last week I asked about the following parameterized problem of Gate v6:

" We recently installed a Gate v6.0.0 in a cluster-based Red Hat Linux
3.2.3-58, it works fine in interactive mode. However, we have problem
to run the interactive mode. When I type "Gate -a CoincWindow 10 -a
lld 350 -a uld 650", it reports error:...
[Core-0] Starting macro -a
[G4-cerr] ***** Can not open a macro file <-a>
[Gate] Sorry, error in a macro command : abort."

Thanks for your fast reply. We compiled the new Gate.cc that you
emailed us, but the problems seemed still not fully solved. The
followings are what I typed and what I got in the linux shell:

[hkwang at hydra PET_Simulation]$ Gate -a zm 4.5

Could you help us to figure out the what the problem is?

Thank you for your time!
