I am using the following configuration:

export OPENGL_X11="ON"

export USE_QT="OFF"
export MULTITHREADED="ON"
export INSTALL_DATA="ON"
export USE_SYSTEM_EXPAT="OFF"

export XercesVersion=3.2.5

and running

cmake  -DGEANT4_USE_OPENGL_X11=$OPENGL_X11        \
      -DGEANT4_USE_RAYTRACER_X11=$RAYTRACER_X11   \

Can you please help me figure out what the problem is with the G4ConfigureGNUMakeHelpers.cmake file?

Geant4 Version: 11.0
Operating System: Linux Mint
Compiler/Version: 9.4.0
CMake Version: 3.16.3

The offending line reported in the outputs:

      get_filename_component(_xercesc_libdir ${XercesC_LIBRARY_RELEASE} DIRECTORY)

so it’s probably the value of the CMake variable XercesC_LIBRARY_RELEASE. Could you check in the CMakeCache.txt file what the values of the XercesC_... variables are and post them here please?
