Error in extended example TestEm5

Hello dear Geant4 users!
I got some problems about running example TestEm5. When I opened macro file “berger.mac” in Qt GUI TestEm5, the GUI TestEm5 clashed and did not return any information.
So, I chose to execute TestEm5 in ‘batch’ mode from macro files. But when I entered ./TestEm5 berger.mac, the terminal returned error value to me.( as shown below)

Could anybody tell me how to fix these error?
I appreciate your help very much.
Thanks for your time and consideration!

You must copy the directory named berger from the source directory (TestEm5) to the build directory (e.g., TestEm5_Build) before you run TestEm5 with berger.mac in the build directory. To ensure this happens automatically when building you could modify the CMakeLists.txt in your source directory to include the berger directory and files.

After looking at it a little more closely, all you really need to do is create an empty directory named berger in the build directory (assuming you want the output root file to go there).

Thank you very much for your answer！@John_McFee
Now it can output the file local.root！ :smiley:
