Hello,

The new update of geant4 10.6 is missing the directory of G4EMLOW7.9, asking for G4EMLOW7.7

### ===  Deexcitation model UAtomDeexcitation is activated for 1 region:
          DefaultRegionForTheWorld  1  0  0

-------- EEEE ------- G4Exception-START -------- EEEE -------
*** G4Exception : em0003
      issued by : G4ShellData::LoadData()
data file: /usr/share/geant4-ledata/G4EMLOW7.7/fluor/binding.dat not found
*** Fatal Exception *** core dump ***
 **** Track information is not available at this moment
 **** Step information is not available at this moment

-------- EEEE -------- G4Exception-END --------- EEEE -------


*** G4Exception: Aborting execution ***

if I trying to change the name of directory for the old version happens same with other directory with G4PARTICLEXS2.1 asking for the old version the G4PARTICLEXS1.1 and changing the name for the old version  still not solve problem.

Is there a link to download the old versions? or other solutions for this problem?

I'm using pacman-manger to install geant4 in my new pc, the operation system is ARCO Linux (using arch linux).

Data files can be downloaded separately, from 
http://geant4.web.cern.ch/support/download

There is also a option during the compile to download these.

Once done, set the various environment variables to point to the new directories. See the installation guide. e.g.
G4LEDATA=/usr/local/montecarlo/data/G4EMLOW7.9
G4PARTICLEXSDATA=/usr/local/montecarlo/data/G4PARTICLEXS2.1

Geant4 isn't asking for the old versions. Rather, the environment variables still point to the old versions.
