[Gate-users] * Break * segmentation violation, vGATE8.1

Thu Jan 17 11:28:55 CET 2019

I had this exact same issue, and raised a thread a week or so ago.  I only get this issue when trying to run GATE on a Raspberry Pi, but it's interesting that you are getting it too.  What kind of system are you using and which versions of the various software have you installed?

From what I can find, the issue is to do with the dose actor interacting with the simulation.  From what I've been able to understand, the dose actor uses Root to sample the event list and convert the individual particle interactions into a more user-friendly output.  That is why your simulation runs fine, but will not produce any output.  I tried posting on the Root forum but they claimed it was a GATE problem, and my thread here went quiet after the initial reply.

My first suggestion would be to check your Root installation is working, beyond that I am in the same boat as you.

Subject: [Gate-users] *** Break *** segmentation violation, vGATE8.1

Dear community,

I’m using vGATE8.1 for my simulation. When I ran a simulation, visualization of simulations looks ok, but at the very end of the simulation I‘m having break segmentation violation. Can anyone tell me what might be the causes of it? Following lines are copy-paste of what I’m seeing:
