Hi All

I was doing mc simulations based on the examples given in fairroot and i have just noticed that i was using TGeant3 for all my stuff. I changed it to TGeant4 to see whats the difference since i was told the Geant4 has much better implementation of physics process for particles through a medium and it looks like my program is not able to see it. But i am very sure that my geant4 is properly defined.


here is the error message:

I appreciate the help guys,

Hi,

As you install the externals, did you choose to install in a separate directory? can you check the log files of installation to see if Geant4 was installed without errors? in the source directory of the externals can you type "svn info" and post the output here?

Hi Mohammad

UPDATE:: I got it working now, It was just a simple path mistake.
Thanks for your help.


When i installed fairsoft, i selected the option of installing them in their source directories itself.

Here is the log file from my last installation:
OpenGL found on this system
C++ compiler found in PATH

It says that geant4 is installed properly. I think that there is something wrong with my libraries path.

This is the output that you asked for, in the source directory fairsoft.

UPDATE::

I played around with the libraries and copied the geant4-config file to the spot that it wanted and now it looks like it can see geant4 or atleast most of it.

I am having some problems regarding specific files, namely the data file for low energy EM processes. I tried getting the new data file and unpacked it and placed it in the place of the old one (even though i think that they are both the same), i am still getting the same issues.

Hallo Raghav,

Sorry for that, this is a bug which we corrected in the release and forget to merge it back to the trunk, please go to the directory:

/Users/raghav/fairsoft/transport/macro/

and call "svn update" there.

This should solve your problem!

regards,

Mohammad
