[Gate-users] Cannot compile GATE v7.0.

[Ayush Maheshwari]

Hello,

I've successfully compiled CLHEP, Geant4, but I'm getting the
following error when I try to 'make' GATE:

Could anyone help me in figuring out the error ? Looks like a bug in
the source code itself.

My system is Ubuntu 12.04, 64-bit.
