I’m building geant4 v10.7.4 so that I can use it to build topas 3.9. When running ccmake to configure the build I get the following…

I don’t how to install X11_cxb_icccm and X11_xcb_util. When I search through the rhel 9 packages, there doesn’t seem to be anything which would indicate that these libraries would be a part of an rpm package.

The configured version of geant4 10.7.4 does build with no error, but I don’t like to have these kind of error messages hanging around and could point to something down stream when I’m running geant4 thorugh topas.

Anyone have any comment on this? Should I just ignore the error?

Thanks.

These aren’t errors as such, the “find” of X11 in CMake is very comprehensive and Geant4 doesn’t use all of the libraries located (or not located in this case). If the CMake and build steps complete without error, then all should be fine.

I can concur with what you wrote. It turns out it was left over errors saved in the ccmake cache system while I was installing packages to resolve dependencies flagged in the ccmake configuration step. Once all the packages were installed, I deleted the build directory and reconfigured the ccmake and the errors were gone.

thanks.
