Thank you for your help

Hello

For QT try doing below on your terminal:

sudo apt-get install libqt5opengl5-dev
sudo apt-get install libqt4-dev

and also just be sure on a new OS I generally do:

sudo apt-get install cmake libx11-dev xorg-dev libglu1-mesa-dev freeglut3-dev libglew1.5 libglew1.5-dev libglu1-mesa libglu1-mesa-dev libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dev

This should solve your issue!

Cheers!

Good Luck!

Hello,

Good to know that your issue got resolved. This current issue must be due to a bad internet connection or its unavailability. As a test do -DGEANT4_INSTALL_DATA=OFF and proceed. Download and set up data manually later on.

Thanks!
