[Gate-users] Installing Gate v6.2 and Geant4 on OSX 10.8.3, problems with CLHEP (Jenny Nilsson)

[Andrew Green]

Hi Jenny,

I think the problem is that you haven't set the CLHEP_... variables correctly.

CLHEP_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE should point to an executable script created during the installation of CLHEP, usually this is /Applications/2.1.1.0/CLHEP/bin/clhep-config

One thing to make sure of is that this script is actually executable! Something like 'chmod a+x /Applications/2.1.1.0/CLHEP/bin/clhep-config' would make sure.

CLHEP_INCLUDE_DIR should point to the directory where CLHEP's header files are.  This will usually be something like /Applications/2.1.1.0/CLHEP/include/

I think the CLHEP_LIBRARY variable should point to the library compiled when you installed CLHEP. This is probably something like
/Applications/2.1.1.0/CLHEP/lib/libCLHEP-2.1.1.0.(a for static, dylib for dynamic)

I suggest you tell it to use the dylib.

Once you set the CLHEP_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE variable right, it *should* sort the other variables out for you, so try that first.

About the Geant4 version, I'm not sure if the difference between 9.5.p01 and 9.5.p02 is something that will upset Gate, but I think the official answer is something along the lines "may produce invalid results". Reading the p02 release notes, they did something with the internal CLHEP modules, so I suggest you use p01 if you can.

Hope this helps,
Andrew
