Hi experts!
I am trying to install Geant4 on MobaXterm… When I run
~/geant4-v11.2.2-build# cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/geant4-v11.2.2-install/ -DGEANT4_INSTALL_DATA=ON -DGEANT4_USE_OPENGL_X11=ON -DGEANT4_USE_QT=ON …/geant4-v11.2.2

I have recieve error message:

I’m not familiar with MobaXterm, but the about error means that whatever system it’s running on doesn’t have the expat library or headers. You could set -DGEANT4_USE_SYSTEM_EXPAT=OFF, but it’s going to be better long term to instal/use the system version.
