Dear Geant4 users These are the characteristics of my machine: Mac PowerBook G4 - Tiger V. 1.4.3 I got the following warning messages indipendently to the version of gcc (I tested it with gcc 3.3 and 4.0) The warning messages: /usr/bin/ld: warning multiple definitions of symbol _glPointParametri /System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework.Versions/A/Libraries/libGL.dylib(gll_api.o) definition of _glPointParametri /usr/X11R6//lib/libGL.dylib(dri_dispatch.o) definition of _glPointParametri Why Mac OSX needs the samy library in two different places? Such problems did not occur with Mac OS X 1.3.X (Panther) with gcc 3.3 Have you experienced a GEANT4 v.7.1 working with mac OSX 1.4.X ? Thank you very much! Tommaso
Dear Tommasso, Could you please explain whether you are using exampleN02 changed or unchanged. Also how are you compiling/linking, could you confirm that you are doing it with the 'standard' Geant4 makefiles ? It appears that your problem is with system libraries - have you customised your OpenGL on your machine ? If you can provide further information, then the new person that I am assigning can have a chance to provide a fuller response. Best regards, John Apostolakis

To be more exhaustive, I should add that I get as the same messages as running my own program which was written by merging existing examples and personal customizations. My own program did work good on Mac G5 with OS X 1.3 (Panther), gcc 3.3 and geant4.7.0 and I was happy. I recently purchased a Mac PowerBook G4, with OS X 1.4 (Tiger) and gcc 4.0. I installed geant4.7.1.p01 and CLHEP libs opportunely compiled for Tiger. The compiling of geant4 and the hadronic physics_list was straightforward and successful. I installed also the Tiger-dedicated openmotif.2.2.3 lib. Finally I copied my own program from the Mac G5 to the PowerBook G4 and I tried to compile it. And I got such errors (the same got with exampleN02): /usr/bin/ld: warning multiple definitions of symbol _glPointParameteri /System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Versions/A/Libraries/ libGL.dylib(gll_api.o) definition of _glPointParameteri /usr/X11R6//lib/libGL.dylib(dri_dispatch.o) definition of _glPointParameteri /usr/bin/ld: warning multiple definitions of symbol _glPointParameteriv /System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Versions/A/Libraries/ libGL.dylib(gll_api.o) definition of _glPointParameteriv /usr/X11R6//lib/libGL.dylib(dri_dispatch.o) definition of _glPointParameteriv /usr/bin/ld: warning suggest use of -bind_at_load, as lazy binding may result in errors or different symbols being used symbol _glPointParameteri used from dynamic library /System/Library/ Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Versions/A/Libraries/libGL.dylib (gll_api.o) not from earlier dynamic library /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL. 1.dylib(dri_dispatch.o) symbol _glPointParameteriv used from dynamic library /System/Library/ Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Versions/A/Libraries/libGL.dylib (gll_api.o) not from earlier dynamic library /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL. 1.dylib(dri_dispatch.o) As I've already said, I get again such warnings when compiling the exampleN02. Actually I tried to compile the exampleN02 just for trying a standard approved code and see what did happen... > + Also how are you compiling/linking, could you confirm that you are doing > it with the 'standard' Geant4 makefiles ?

I verified installation of Geant4.7.1.p01 and exampleN02 with OpenGL graphics on MacOS/Tiger. I could not reproduce the problem and for me exampleN02 links just fine. I believe the problem is in the user's system, maybe in the ad-hoc installation of GL/Motif made afterwards. Indeed there seems to appear two GL libs in the path: /System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Versions/A/Libraries/libGL.dylib and: /usr/X11R6//lib/libGL.dylib The user should eventually try to solve that ambiguity.
