Dear sir/madam, I am a new user of geant4 with its latest release. I have carefully followed the recommendations given in the installation guide of geant4_9_3_p01 for windows and have all the correct versions mentioned in that guide. I still have two errors in the installation coming repeatedly. I have tried to fix it but unable to find answer. The two errors are as follows, 1. during the compilation of following files the first error appears, Making dependency for file src/G4XTRTransparentRegRadModel.cc ...

Seems you're using a compiler (Visual Studio 2010) which is currently -not- supported. The supported compiler for release 9.3 is Visual Studio 2008 (VC++ 9.0) . Please, try using that one, you can download the Visual C++ express edition for free: http://www.microsoft.com/express/Downloads/#2008-Visual-CPP The error reported seems at first look a problem with the compiler in use; The function 'std::pow(complex,int)' is a perfectly legal Standard C++ call, but the compiler is apparently giving priority to C style definitions in math.h ...
