[Gate-users] Fwd: OpenGL not installing

[Joel Lazewatsky]

One thing I did forget to mention - there was one significant difference
from the recommended installation procedure. I used Geant4.9.5.p02 rather
than Geant4.9.5.p01 because I could not find anywhere on the Geant4 web
site a link to either Geant4.9.5.p01 or to the unpatched Geant4.9.5. There
only appeared to be links to Geant4.9.5.p02 and to the two patches.

Hi Everyone,

I have just installed Geant4 and Gate and while Gate runs, at least one
thing right now doesn't seem to work.

When I enter the command /vis/open OGLSX, I get the following error:

parameter value is not listed in the candidate List.
Parameter is out of candidate list (index 0)
Candidates : ATree DAWNFILE HepRepXML HepRepFile RayTracer VRML1FILE
VRML2FILE gMocrenFile

This looks to me like OpenGL didn't install.

But, I thought I did everything necessary to install OpenGL:

I'm using Ubuntu 12.04. on an older Pentium 4 machine using an Nvidia
Quadro4 380 graphics card.
Via sudo apt-get install, I installed all of the packages recommended in
the installation guide for Ubuntu, including the ones for OpenGL.
I also installed the correct closed-source drivers for Nvidia cards on
Ubuntu.
Using export, I set the environment variables G4VIS_BUILD_OPENGLX_DRIVER
and G4VIS_BUILD_OPENGLXM_DRIVER to 1.
The Geant4 ccmake gui looks exactly like the illustration in the
installation guide (except for the /PATH_TO/ for the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX,
which was specific to my username and for the addition of a line for
QT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE, which was set to /user/bin/qmake). The parameter
GEANT4_USE_OPENGL_X11 was set to "ON".

Neither the configurations nor the makes for Geant4 and Gate resulted in
errors, only warnings about variables set but unused.

I've compiled it twice now with the same result. What am I missing??
