*sorry to resend this email, I made a few mistakes*
Hello Leonid,
this reminds me of my first struggle with running an example in GATE.
So, first of all, I found that the contents of every example file is
not "properly" set up to just run. What I mean is that you need to
check that in your mac code every other .mac file gets called from
where it is.
For example, in the radiotherapy examples, I found that there are 3
sub folders labeled output, mac and data.
So when you open the main.mac, which is placed in the mac folder, it
tries calling up for example the GateMaterials.db from the data
folder. The problem is that the data folder isn't in the mac folder.
So, if you catch my drift, the easiest thing to do in this case is to
just move your main.mac in the general folder, ie the example folder,
so it can properly call all other files from the folders.
Hope this helps you out,
Nada.
