1) Set up Root
Obtain the latest Root fromhttp://root.cern.ch. I used Root version 5.18.Unzip the Root package to the location of choice, say ~/mt-sys. After unzipping, there will be a“root” directory in ~/dev. We will come back in the later step to set up root configuration.To build Root from source, download the source ball, unzip it, then change to the sourcedirectory
#cd ~/SetUpZip#tar -zxvpf <root_src>.tar
.
gz#cd <root_src>#./configure–-prefix=~/install/root --enable-mysql --enable-opengl --enable-python# make# make install
Notes on tar options used above•-z : unzip the file first•-x : extract the files from the tarball•-v : "verbose" (i.e tar tells you what files it's extracting)•-p : preserves dates, permissions of the original files•-f : use the file in question (if you don't specify this, tar just sort of sits around doingnothing)Add the following lines to your ~/.bashrc file
CURCWD=`pwd`cd ~/dev/rootsource bin/thisroot.shcd $CURCWDexport LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:${ROOTSYS}/lib/rootexport PATH=$ROOTSYS/bin:$PATH
2) Set up CLHEP
To build CLHEP, you need gcc-3.2.3 or higher.Obtain CLHEP source package fromhttp://proj-clhep.web.cern.ch/proj-clhep/DISTRIBUTION/clhep.html.I used version 2.0.3.1 (http://proj-clhep.web.cern.ch/projclhep/DISTRIBUTION/distributions/clhep-2.0.3.1.tgz)Save the tar ball in a directory of choice, say ~/install. Then unzip and then do configure, make,and make install in the unzipped directory. Note that by default, the CLHEP is installed in /usr/local. I set the installation path to /home/
username
/dev/CLHEP by doing “./configure –-prefix=/home/
username
/dev/CLHEP”.
cd ~/SetUpZiptar -zxvpf clhep-<version>.tar cd <version>/CLHEP./configure –-prefix=/home/
username
/dev/CLHEPmakemake install
Add the following lines to /home/jessica/.bashrc file
export CLHEP_BASE_DIR=/home/username/dev/CLHEPexport LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$CLHEP_BASE_DIR/lib
3) Set up Geant4
Obtain the source package from Geant4 sitehttp://geant4.web.cern.ch/geant4/. I usedGeant4.8.2.p01 (http://geant4.web.cern.ch/geant4/support/source/geant4.8.2.p01.tar.gz
).Unzip the tar ball to your directory of choice, say ~/geant4. Unzip and then change directory to~/geant4/geant4.8.2.p01 to run the “Configure” script.
cd ~/SetUpZiptar -zxvpf geant<version>.tar.gzcd geant<version>mkdir data
