[Gate-users] error in installation

[David Boersma]

Dear Maryam,

Let's keep this discussion on the mailing list.

Could you please start a fresh new shell (terminal window), perform the 
following commands, and then copy-paste the whole session (all commands 
and their output) in a mail to the list? Screenshots are also fine, as 
long as we can see the whole session from the beginning to the end.

In the following commands, please replace "/path/to/XYZ" each time by 
the relevant path. The "/path/to/gate_v8.0" should be the path to the 
gate_v8.0 source code directory (which you got hopefully from extracting 
the gate_v8.0.tar.gz file). Note that on the last line I ask you to run 
"cmake" this time, instead of the usual "ccmake" (it's not a typo).

#########################################
source /path/to/ROOT/bin/thisroot.sh
which root
which root-config
root-config --prefix
root-config --version
source /path/to/Geant4/bin/geant4.sh
which geant4-config
cd /path/to/gate_v8.0
cd ..
mkdir newbuild
cd newbuild
cmake ../gate_v8.0
#########################################

Good luck,
David Boersma

There is two ways for installation, I tried both. your recommendation about "source /path/to/ROOT/bin/thisroot.sh" command is in first way. Both ways resulted in root installation correctly, but when I try to configure Gate, the error is that "root not found, install root and make it available in PATH.
