Hi,
Ive installed CLHEP a few different times and Geant4 with a few different
options selected in configure and also tried setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH
but i still get the following error

Comment 1 jlidgard 2003-08-12 17:42:59 CEST 
when i installed the new CLHEP library, the library was named libCLHEP-g++.1.8.0.0.a
geant4 was looking for libCLHEP.a
fixed with a symbolic link

---------------
In my pc the ld.exe file locates at /usr/i686-pc-cygwin/bin. There is no
dir/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/3.3.1/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/

Please, read our FAQ !
This report was related to Linux systems.
You're talking about Windows...
On Windows the CLHEP library file must be named CLHEP.lib.
