Error while installing geant4

[azinbeigi]

Hi everyone,
I had a problem with my Geant4 installation with respect to multithreading, so I deleted and tried to install it again. While building the geant4 with cmake, the " make -j4 install" step, I keep getting this error. At first I thought it might be about my connection stability, so I tried different connections, but the error seems to persist. My Geant4 version is 10.02 (we are all using this version in the lab to be consistent), my operating system is ubuntu 18.04 and my compiler version is 3.10.2.

Error when installation time doing make -jN command

The other possibility is that the cmake in use has been downloaded from the Kitware site as the binary bundle. IIRC, these bundles that Kitware ship don’t enable SSL in libcurl due to export restrictions on encryption software, so I would double check on how cmake was installed here first. Otherwise, I would suspect a glitch either in the internet connection, or the cern.ch server.

Installation error -- how to build with manually downloaded data files?

Hi! I am trying to install geant4 without having to pull the data files from the cern website because there is a corporate firewall. Despite having downloaded them, when I try to set CMAKE_INSTALL_DATAROOTDIR to the directory where I unzipped the files, I still get an error that no source or binary directory was provided. When I run “make -j1” I get the error: error: downloading ‘https://cern.ch/geant4-data/datasets/G4ENSDFSTATE.2.2.tar.gz’ failed status_code: 7 status_string: “Couldn’t conne…

could maybe help?
