Configuring the build of g4py in Geant4 10.00.p02 with CMake leads to a failure due to the lack of inclusion of Xerces-C header folder. I configure with: $ cmake -DXERCESC_ROOT_DIR=/wizard/04/mori/software/install/XERCESC_3.1.1/ -DBOOST_ROOT=/wizard/04/mori/software/install/BOOST_1.55.0/ -DPYTHON_LIBRARY=/wizard/04/mori/software/install/PYTHON_2.7.8/lib/ -DPYTHON_INCLUDE_DIR=/wizard/04/mori/software/install/PYTHON_2.7.8/include/python2.7/ ../ -- The C compiler identification is GNU -- The CXX compiler identification is GNU -- Check for working C compiler: /wizard/02/LHCfG4_software/installed/external/gcc/bin/gcc -- Check for working C compiler: /wizard/02/LHCfG4_software/installed/external/gcc/bin/gcc -- works -- Detecting C compiler ABI info -- Detecting C compiler ABI info - done -- Check for working CXX compiler: /wizard/02/LHCfG4_software/installed/external/gcc/bin/c++ -- Check for working CXX compiler: /wizard/02/LHCfG4_software/installed/external/gcc/bin/c++ -- works -- Detecting CXX compiler ABI info -- Detecting CXX compiler ABI info - done -- Found Geant4: /wizard/04/mori/software/install/GEANT4_10.00.p02/bin/..

It seems that the proper -I flag for Xerces-C headers folder is missing, even if during configuration no error/warning has come out. If I add the flag: -I/wizard/04/mori/software/install/XERCESC_3.1.1/include the file is compiled without errors.
Fixed in the 10.1 release. Add the following line in CMakeLists.txt in source/gdml/ include_directories (${XERCESC_INCLUDE_DIRS})
