Hi.

I'm trying to install the latest release (6.2), but:

Please, specify where CLHEP is installed. It was found in:

CLHEP_BASE_DIR:                 /usr/local

and later:

ls: CLHEP_BASE_DIR--UNDEFINED: No such file or directory

This sounds very strange, since all the previous versions I have were installed
with the same library and with the same path. Since the 5.2 version I'm using
the Configure -install commad line; it ran both with Mandrake 9 and lately with
Red Hat 9, and above all it worked since ever, at least until this last release.

Thanks for your help.

Regards, Chris

This problem may be induced by the fact that in release 6.2 the 'hard-coded'
path to CLHEP defined in the configuration scripts has been removed.
The Configure script by default does not assign CLHEP_BASE_DIR in case the
path of installation for CLHEP is a 'system' path (i.e. /usr or /usr/local),
therefore running into this problem.
A patch will be issued soon to the Configure script to cover this case.
In the meantime, you could get around this by explicitely defining in your
environment the CLHEP_BASE_DIR variable -before- runnning the Configure
script (i.e. export CLHEP_BASE_DIR="").

The problem is now fixed and a new patched version of the 'Configure' script
can be downloaded from: http://cern.ch/geant4/source/source/geant4/Configure
or together with the distributed source-code archives.
Thanks for reporting the problem.
