[Gate-users] Errors when building GATE 7.2

[Sarlo, Jeffrey S]

One of the user groups has asked for GATE to be installed.  I have been having some errors when building and I am not sure if I am just not using the correct versions of the related software.

I have tried both ROOT 6.08.02 and 5.34.36.  I tried GEANT4 10.03 first and am now trying GEANT4 10.02p2.  I am building on RHEL 6 with gcc 5.2 and cmake 3.6.3.

The first error I get is

I looked around about that one and found that if I add  #include G4SystemOfUnits.hh  I can get past that one.  Next I get

What I could find about that is that theParticleIterator isn't in GEANT4 v10 anymore.  aParticleIterator is supposed to be used.  

Should I be using a different version of GEANT4 to use with GATE?

Thanks.
