Dear Sir I am trying to install geant4 as a stand alone mode in a Pc running under RedHat 6.2. I am a newcomer in this field. I have downloaded and installed the following files from geant4 home page : geant4.3.2.tar.gz gcc egcs-2.91.66(egcs1.1.2) relevant version of CLHEP However, while installing the following error message was received after it compiled for nearly 1 and half hrs. : /Configure: ./hints: No such file or directory ls: *.sh: No such file or directory src/G4MuNuclearInteraction.cc: In method `G4double G4MuNuclearInteraction::ComputeMicroscopicCrossSection(const class G4ParticleDefinition *, G4double, G4double, G4double)': src/G4MuNuclearInteraction.cc:218: warning: assignment to `G4int' from `double' src/G4ReactionDynamics.cc: In method `G4int G4ReactionDynamics::Poisson(G4double)': src/G4ReactionDynamics.cc:2565: warning: assignment to `G4int' from `double' src/G4LENeutronInelastic.cc: In method `void G4LENeutronInelastic::Cascade(class G4FastVector<G4ReactionProduct,128> &, G4int &, const class G4DynamicParticle *, class G4ReactionProduct &, class G4ReactionProduct &, G4bool &, G4bool &, G4bool &)': src/G4LENeutronInelastic.cc:362: warning: initialization to `G4int' from `double' src/G4LEProtonInelastic.cc: In method `void G4LEProtonInelastic::Cascade(class G4FastVector<G4ReactionProduct,128> &, G4int &, const class G4DynamicParticle *, class G4ReactionProduct &, class G4ReactionProduct &, G4bool &, G4bool &, G4bool &)': src/G4LEProtonInelastic.cc:279: warning: initialization to `G4int' from `double' gmake[1]: cernlib: Command not found h@h@gmake[1]: cernlib: Command not found h@h@ Reading library name map file...

It looks like you're listing a summary of warnings and messages from the build. However, it's not clear at which stage the error: "..../home/geant/geant4/config/architecture.gmk:36: /etc/.mk: No such file or directory" occurs. Can you please specify the commands you issued for the installation ? It looks like you used the 'Config' script to install the Geant4 libraries (command: "Config -install"), and the libraries did build correctly, despite of some known warnings. The message: gmake[1]: cernlib: Command not found shows that you don't have the 'cernlib' command installed in your system; 'cernlib' is a command from the CERN program library (cernlib) returning a list of libraries needed to link a cernlib application. This command is only used in the 'g3tog4' module, however, if you do not make use of the 'g3tog4' tool, it's harmless. The cernlib script (and the needed cernlib libraries) are available from http://cern.ch/cernlib
