following the description in the manuals, or trying ExampleN02 or N04
leads always to similar errors:

Comment 1 Gabriele Cosmo 2000-07-26 05:56:59 CEST
Can you please specify the system configuration you are using
(Linux distribution, compiler version, libC, ...), and could you
also provide us the exact input (macros or commands) fed to either
exampleN02 and exampleN04 ?
On Geant4 2.0, we cannot reproduce this problem using the standard
input macros for testing on our Linux systems.
