GEANT4.9.6 with gdml installation problem

Hi everyone!
I have an error during geant4.9.6 building with gdml option:

/usr/include/xercesc/framework/XMLFormatter.hpp:180:17: error: ‘XMLCh’ does not name a type

The errors occured around 90% of building process.

The final output is:

I’m using xerces-c++ 3.2.3-5 from standard repo (pacman package manager).

Other:

  • cmake 3.22.1
  • gcc 11.1.0
  • GNU make 4.3

It was perfect installation of geant4.11.0 with such a parameters and -GEANT_USE_GDML=ON

Tried build with xerces 3.2.0 & 3.2.2, gcc 4.3.6
also tried Ubuntu 20.04 (with apt) and another machine.

The installation of this version of geant succeeded couple month ago, but now is not and I have no idea why. Also I tried installation of geant4.10.0 with gdml option with no success (same errors).

Version 9.6 is no longer supported, so I’m not sure we can be a lot of assistance here. The errors appear to be coming from Xerces-C though - can you locate the actual .cc file in Geant4 which causes the compilation failure?

Thank you for answer!
I will try to find this file, it may take a while.
