[Gate-users] Actor type: FixedForcedDetectionActor does not exist!

[Gábor Légrádi]

Dear All,

I am new to GATE. Until now, I have been playing with vGATE, on Virtual Machine. Now I am testing my newly compiled GATE on my host machine. I tried to execute a macro which runs properly on vGATE. You may find it in GateContrib Github folder: https://github.com/OpenGATE/GateContrib/tree/master/imaging/CT/fixedForcedDetectionCT .

On my host Gate can not accomplish this line:
/gate/actor/addActor FixedForcedDetectionActor ffda
Warning message:
<!> *** WARNING *** <!>  Actor type: FixedForcedDetectionActor does not exist!

And then, naturally, ffda can not be attached and Gate stops with error:
/gate/actor/ffda/attachTo                     world
[G4-cerr] command </gate/actor/ffda/attachTo                     world> not found

Any hint?

I installed the whole stuff on Ubuntu 20.04. Here are my notes about the installation:
