CMake error during installation Ubuntu 23.10

[montarou]

Good afternoon. I am trying to install geant4 (version 11.1.3 ) via ccmake. But the following error pops up:

…

I’d suspect that the G4NDL.4.7.tar.gz file was only partially downloaded. You can check to see if the file /home/montarou/sofware/geant4-v11.1.3/build/Externals/G4NDL-4.7/src/G4NDL.4.7.tar.gz is present, and if so that running md5sum on it produces:

$ md5sum G4NDL.4.7.tar.gz 
b001a2091bf9392e6833830347672ea2  G4NDL.4.7.tar.gz

If that hash doesn’t match, then you you can try deleting the file and rebuilding.
