[Gate-users] A Problem with Material Database

Dear all,

I have been using GATE for a while and run many macros properly. But when I
tried to run a macro from my colleague with the same configured
GateMaterials.db file as I used before, an error occurred as follows:
```
 CREATED THE COMMAND /gate/systems/cylindricalPET/addAnewRsector

-------- EEEE ------- G4Exception-START -------- EEEE -------
*** G4Exception : DecodingException
      issued by : GateMDBFieldDecoder::DecodingException
The definition of the element/material 'Water' is incorrect: The value
found for the state field ('liquid
') was not recognized.
You should check this definition in the database file.
*** Fatal Exception *** core dump ***
 **** Track information is not available at this moment
 **** Step information is not available at this moment

-------- EEEE -------- G4Exception-END --------- EEEE -------


*** G4Exception: Aborting execution ***
```
I am pretty sure the material database is fine and there might be some
problem with GEANT4 configuration when odd geometry we apply. Did anyone
had the same problem before? Any answer will be highly appreciated!!

Best,
