Installation of Geant 4.6.2 on a AMD dual Opteron system running 64bit SuSe 9.1 Linux The problem appears when compiling the file inflate.cc. The following output is given: Compiling inflate.cc ... src/inflate.cc: In function `int heprep_z_inflateInit2_(z_stream*, int, const char*, int)': src/inflate.cc:125: error: invalid conversion from `long unsigned int (*)(long unsigned int, const unsigned char*, unsigned int)' to `heprep_z_uLong (*)(unsigned int, const heprep_z_Bytef*, unsigned int)' gmake[2]: *** [/Geant4/tmp/Linux-g++/G4visHepRep/inflate.o] Error 1 I hope someone can help me to solve the problem. Thank you very much for your time and effort. Wolfram
The g++/gcc version is 3.3.3
Our AMD machine has the 3.4 gcc compiler and as far as I remember G4.6.2 does not compile at all using this compiler. The latest VIS tag for G4.7.0 (in CVS) does compile under 3.4 and the zlib version for this was upgraded. Since no interfaces in HepRep have changed, you could try the vis-HepRep tag, or I could tar up the code for you and send it. Another possibility is that you give me access to the machine and I try to fix it. Regards Mark Donszelmann
I would prefer the tared-up code (with some instructions what to do/replace) for the first try. I will set up my machine so it will accept outside connections in the meantime. Should I fail fixing the problem with the tarball I would be grateful if you could try to fix the problem via accessing my machine. Is that ok for you? Best regards Wolfram
ftp://ftp.slac.stanford.edu/software/geant4/ contains a file: HepRep-AMD64-G4.7.0-0.tar.gz HepRep-AMD64-G4.7.0-0.README which is a update to the HepRep driver and the included zlib code for usage with G4.6.2. The same driver is included in Geant 4.7.0
