One of my users reported to me that he wasn't able to run our Geant4-based simulation, and he couldn't run the G4 examples either. Building on his Mac using the GNUMakefile system, he got the following error, which I can reproduce: $ exampleB1 dyld: Library not loaded: @rpath/libG4Tree.dylib Referenced from: /Users/kelsey/geant4_workdir/bin/Darwin-clang/exampleB1 Reason: image not found Abort The problem arises because G4RUNPATHOPTION is not set correctly in the config/system/{Linux,Darwin}-{clang,g++}.gmk files. In those four files, the setting is G4RUNPATHOPTION := -Wl,-rpath which is later used in binmake.gmk as LDFLAGS += $(G4RUNPATHOPTION)$(G4TMPDIR) The option string needs to have a trailing comma, so that the directory is included in what gets passed to LD (i.e., -Wl,-rpath,<path-to-libraries> results in "-rpath <path-to-libraries>"). Additionally, binmake.gmk should use the G4RUNPATHOPTION construction above for both the executables own library ($(G4TMPDIR) above), and for the Geant4 main libraries; thus: LDFLAGS += $(G4RUNPATHOPTION)$(G4TMPDIR) LDFLAGS += $(G4RUNPATHOPTION)$(G4LIB)/$(G4SYSTEM) I was able to work around the problem by (a) modifying G4RUNPATHOPTION, and (b) adding the last line above, in my own application's GNUMakefile.
Thanks for reporting this. The fix is now tagged config-V10-04-06 and will be included in the patch and/or release. Please, note that the GNUMake system is deprecated since long and only used for internal development. Consider switching your software to CMake, as GNUMake may soon be removed!
