Description Mojca Miklavec 2016-03-29 22:15:04 CEST

(I'm sorry, I picked the wrong component, but there is no good alternative.)

The following two files don't seem to be compressed:

http://geant4.cern.ch/support/source/G4RadioactiveDecay.4.3.1.tar.gz
http://geant4.cern.ch/support/source/G4ENSDFSTATE.1.2.1.tar.gz

Usually running "tar xvzf filename.tar.gz" runs just fine, but our package manager has problems:

/usr/bin/gzip -dc '/path/to/G4ENSDFSTATE.1.2.1.tar.gz' | /usr/bin/gnutar --no-same-owner -xf - 
gzip: /path/to/G4ENSDFSTATE.1.2.1.tar.gz: not in gzip format

Comment 2 Gunter.Folger 2016-04-12 12:57:56 CEST

Hello,

Correctly compressed files are available. These are:

http://geant4.cern.ch/support/source/G4RadioactiveDecay.4.4.tar.gz
http://geant4.cern.ch/support/source/G4ENSDFSTATE.1.2.2.tar.gz

Both files only differ in packing, not in content, except README or History files.

Comment 3 Mojca Miklavec 2016-04-12 13:41:38 CEST

This is still causing me problems because the installer now expects G4ENSDFSTATE1.2.2. That folder is now missing and the installation fails.

(Just to make it clear: I'm packaging Geant4 for MacPorts, so in principle I have full control and can create a patch that will rename folder if really needed, but it is a bit annoying that one single data file out of so many needs a special treatment.)

Comment 4 Gunter.Folger 2016-04-12 13:58:29 CEST

Hello,

I could create yet another version, 1.2.3, which then also contains data in the correct directory?

The current file 1.2.2 was solving the problem for one LHC experiment here at CERN.

Hello!
Thanks for fixing the files. 
However, the issue is not completely solved.
now if I download the 
http://geant4.cern.ch/support/source/G4RadioactiveDecay.4.4.tar.gz
http://geant4.cern.ch/support/source/G4ENSDFSTATE.1.2.2.tar.gz

the unzipped folder name will be:
G4RadioactiveDecay4.4
and
G4ENSDFSTATE1.2.1

but the geant4 installer will require G4RadioactiveDecay4.3.1
I had to rename G4RadioactiveDecay4.4 to 4.3.1 to let installer find it correctly.

Can you update the geant4 download page and also update the installer so that both can work fine.

Thanks so much!

Comment 6 Fada Guan 2016-05-27 20:20:21 CEST

These two files in Geant4 download page are still not updated and the problems exist for all users.

please help!

Thanks!

Comment 7 Mojca Miklavec 2016-06-12 21:21:25 CEST

There is another problem. The version numbers 4.3.1 and 1.2.1 are apparently hardcoded in geant4make/geant4make.sh.

Comment 8 Gunter.Folger 2016-09-06 12:19:03 CEST

The Patch-02 for Geant4 10.2 has correct datafiles with correct version number in CMake.
