The system is missing an install of the Xerces-C headers and libraries. Check to see which packages the system provides XercesC through and install them before reconfiguring Geant4.

Is the machine connected to the internet?

5

Yes, I have good internet connectivity.

All I can suggest is to keep trying, if it continues to fail you’ll need to check with the network provider and/or Ubuntu.

7

I think the Index of /ubuntu/ website is not working right now. is this XercesC package available on GitHub or somewhere else?
