Initially I had no problem installing geant4.3.2. All examples compiled/ran AOK. Then for some bizarre reason the compiler decided it didn't want to compil G4DataVector.hh. I haven't altered this file nor the compiler over the course of the dilemna. If anyone can help I'd appreciate it. The compilation error is listed below.

It looks like your compiler is having problems resolving the 'G4std' macro. What compiler version are you using? You might have installed some packages/rpms that screwed g++. Try re-installing the necessary set of packages for your g++ compiler.
From iwan maximus cornelius <ic02@uow.edu.au>: I am running gcc-2.96 under red hat 7.0 on an i386. I have already reinstalled the compiler but the problem remains.
Please, see also problem report #318 and related item in our FAQ page. Your problem is the compiler version you're using which is distributed with Red-Hat 7.0 and is know to be buggy.
