Error in running the make file

[Shabeeb-Abbas]

I’m very new to Geant4 so pls bear with my lack of knowledge, I don’t really know how to check the CMake version or the Compiler version. I tried to run the MakeFile by using make command it downloaded upto 8% then gave a lot of error lines, I’m attaching the last few lines output (I believe the make file might be corrupt as the hash didn’t match when running the make command:

make[2]: *** [CMakeFiles/G4NDL.dir/build.make:98: Externals/G4NDL-4.7/src/G4NDL-stamp/G4NDL-download] Error 1
make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:945: CMakeFiles/G4NDL.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:156: all] Error 2

I ran the ls command and the output seemed alright, I’ll attach that also it might help figure out the problem:

~/geant4-v11.1.3/build$ ls

Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

This is almost certainly a failure to download the dataset file(s). This can happen if there’s a network interruption. The build can simply be retried, as the downloads will restart.

If the problem persists, you can set the GEANT4_INSTALL_DATA CMake variable to OFF and after installation of the C++ code either:

1. Use the installed geant4-config script to download/install the data via:

   $ geant4-config --install-datasets
   

   Run geant4-config --help for more options.

2. Manually download the datasets and unpack the datasets from here: Download Geant4-11.1.3 - Geant4. See also the Postinstall Setup section of the install guide for locations where to unpack.
