Description marcus.h.mendenhall 2007-07-02 23:54:58 CEST 
There are functions in the G4VisManager.hh which are declared but do not exist in the source code anywhere.  

Although this appears benign, it breaks automatic wrapper generators such as SWIG, since SWIG generates wrappers for these functions which then causes undefined symbols in the library linkage process.  Here are the lines I had to comment out (starting around line 347 of the header file):

  // NOTE This routine no longer exists in the source code MHM 20070702
  // const G4String&              GetBeginOfLastRunRandomStatus   () const;
  // NOTE This routine no longer exists in the source code MHM 20070702
  // const G4String&              GetBeginOfLastEventRandomStatus () const;
  // NOTE This routine no longer exists in the source code MHM 20070702
  //  G4int                        GetLastRunID                    () const;
