Bug #1560
Geant 4 building incorrectly
100%
Description
Just did a fresh install of the tracker development branch and it looks like geant4 isn't installing correctly. I noticed that the third party bash script is looking for geant4.9.6_build.tar.gz (or something similar to that) when what downloads is a geant4.9.6.p02.tar.gz. I've changed this and ran the build_all.bash script (with all the other installs commented out, and after sourcing env.sh). This did not work, see below for the error it created:

INFO: Checking MD5 checksum (otherwise the file didn't INFO: download properly): geant4.9.6.p02.tar.gz.md5 geant4.9.6.p02.tar.gz: OK INFO: Unpacking geant4 source: INFO: Unpacking geant4 data: INFO: Generating make files: -- The C compiler identification is unknown -- The CXX compiler identification is unknown -- Check for working C compiler: /home/hep/cheidt/bin/gcc -- Check for working C compiler: /home/hep/cheidt/bin/gcc -- broken CMake Error at /home/hep/cheidt/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/CMakeTestCCompiler.cmake:52 (MESSAGE): The C compiler "/home/hep/cheidt/bin/gcc" is not able to compile a simple test program.

trying to run scons, I get the following error:

Hi Chris. Looking at the output you post, the first error I see is about your compiler, rather than about GEANT itself. Perhaps try looking at that first?

Yeah I saw that too, I started a full rebuild when I posted this, it is currently ongoing. I figured since I knew at least one thing was wrong, I would put this up here.
Updated by Dobbs, Adam over 8 years ago
OK, I just did a clean pull and rebuild myself, no problems seen. Let me know if this persists.

Interesting, I've been poking around with it and still can't get it to build geant. Everything else seems to be building find though. Can you do me a favor and look for what version of geant is installing on your machine. Check the third party sources for the tar.gz file and look in the "build_all.bash".
My path is pointing to my home bin directory and there is definitely a compiler in there.

It looks like it's the compiler somehow
In the original log you posted:
gmake[1]: execvp: /home/hep/cheidt/bin/gcc: Permission denied
Can you check the permission on /home/hep/cheidt/bin/gcc ?
Also the cmake version?
Are you doing [ or have you tried ] a clean build?

Are you build on either the ral ppd or ic clusters Chris?

Rebuilt this afternoon on an Imperial machine, with my home builds removed from PATH. I think that may have done the trick. GEANT4 looks like it built, still need to test though. Unfortunately, building a the newest version of gcc meant I don't have any quota left at Imperial, so I need to clean that up and rebuild MAUS again.
Adam, do you know of any way of getting over 1.7 GB of storage space on the Imperial machines, seriously cramps my considerable style.

Make yourself a directory under:
/vols/mice3/
It's a joint disk, so be mindful of your usage.
