I have been working on getting the Geant4 simulation and related software up and running on a couple of non JLAB systems; here are some notes on what I did most recently. I may be omitting some steps here and I definitely have rearranged the order and left out some steps that I tried but that didn't seem to give useful results, so there are no guarantees this will work for anyone else, but it should cut down on confusion, or so I hope. This should be a better example to follow than my previous one (thanks to better understanding on my part, and probably some improvements in the solgemc package itself), but you can [[Earlier solgemc installation outside JLAB|read about that too]] if you want.

Generally speaking what I tried to do was to set up a directory structure similar to what is installed using the gemc RPM; qt4 and geant4 already existed on this system but not necessarily configured as needed for gemc, so I put new installations into the new directory tree.
+
I followed the procedure [https://gemc.jlab.org/gemc/Support/Entries/2011/8/1_Step_by_Step.html here] to install gemc. Aside from a temporary problem with off site access all that went as it should.

I have been working on getting the Geant4 simulation and related software up and running on a couple of non JLAB systems; here are some notes on what I did most recently. This is a much better example to follow than my previous ones, but you can read about those too if you want.

The target system for now is one running Ubuntu 10.10 (32 bit i386).

I followed the procedure here to install gemc. Aside from a temporary problem with off site access all that went as it should.

After that:

  1. cd $JLAB_SOFTWARE/gemc
  2. Edit $JLAB_SOFTWARE/gemc/SConstruct: copy the env.Library line at the end, paste, and replace env.Library with env.SharedLibrary .
  3. scons

solgemc

  1. svn checkout https://jlabsvn.jlab.org/svnroot/solid/solgemc into $JLAB_SOFTWARE/solgemc and cd there
  2. scons
  3. In your ~/.cshrc add $JLAB_SOFTWARE/gemc to LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable

For additional packages, e.g. banks, cteq, event generator, root2lund see Second Installation here.
