Does Gate even work with ROOT 6? (I never bothered trying.)


You can check the mailing list archive. This has been a known problem
since the release of geant4.10.01.p01.

The easiest workaround is to install geant4.10.01 (without the patch) from:
    http://geant4.web.cern.ch/geant4/support/source/geant4.10.01.tar.gz

Alternatively you can try one of the following:
- apply the following patch to Gate:
    http://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/science/gate/files/patch-source-physics-GateVSource.diff?rev=135909
- try installing Gate via MacPorts ("sudo port install gate" once you
have MacPorts up and running)
- wait until the problem gets fixed in the git repository for Gate and
retry then again
