I have recently downloaded Geant4 7.1 (Unix tar format) from http://wwwasd.web.cern.ch/wwwasd/geant4/geant4.html. When I compile it under Solaris 5.8, I get the following error message: Compiling G4PiNuclearCrossSection.cc ... "/opt/SUNWspro/WS6U2/include/CC/Cstd/./memory", line 184: Error: Type name expected instead of "T".

Can you please specify what compiler version you're using ?

Geant4 will not compile on earlier versions of the CC compiler.
