To do that I would suggest you to use the 'manual' procedure for the
installation, as specified in the documentation; i.e. define a script which
configures correctly your environment first and then simply 'make'.

There is not a reason. It is harmless but can be corrected, in case.

At the moment the physics-lists are not meant to be part of the default
installation for technical reasons. This may happen in future if/when they
will become part of the kernel libraries.

More grievance with this feature of the Configure script.

Running the script as follows (ie. using file with default answers):

./Configure -build -f config_4.8.0.p01.sh


All goes well until:


Please, specify default directory where ALL the Geant4 data is installed:

 G4LEVELGAMMADATA:              /usr/local/geant4/data/PhotonEvaporation

 G4RADIOACTIVEDATA:             /usr/local/geant4/data/RadiativeDecay3.0

 G4LEDATA:                      /usr/local/geant4/data/G4EMLOW3.0

 NeutronHPCrossSections:        /usr/local/geant4/data/G4NDL3.8

 G4ELASTICDATA:                 /usr/local/geant4/data/G4ELASTIC1.1

You will be asked about customizing these next.
[/usr/local/geant4/data]

Please, specify default directory where the Geant4 data is installed:

1) G4LEVELGAMMADATA:            /usr/local/geant4/data/PhotonEvaporation

2) G4RADIOACTIVEDATA:           /usr/local/geant4/data/RadiativeDecay

3) G4LEDATA:                    /usr/local/geant4/data/G4EMLOW3.0

4) NeutronHPCrossSections:      /usr/local/geant4/data/G4NDL3.7

5) G4ELASTICDATA:               /usr/local/geant4/data/G4ELASTIC1.1

In the next release can the Configure script please be changed such that these
variables are not reset during this step. It is very annoying yet trivial to fix.
