Visualizing the simulations

Recording, Visualizing and Persisting Data

Hi,

I’m trying to write a radioactive decay simulation and as you can see my visualizer manager is not working properly. I tried to run exampleB1 either and eventough it’s giving the output properly, I couldn’t manage toget a visualize output.

I installed qt5 libraries using Synaptic Package Manager but I guess I couldn’t link them to my geant4 installation. I’m using geant4-10.7.p04 on Ubuntu 22.04 btw.

Hi Taka

It looks like you didn’t build with any graphics libraries. You have to specify options for CMake - see Building and Installing from Source — Geant4 Installation Guide 11.1 documentation. In your case GEANT4_USE_QT.

Hope that helps

Hi John,

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately I’m sure that when I’m building the Geant4 I used GEANT4_USE_QT, GEANT4_USE_RAYTRACER_X11 options while I was configuring my build directory. Any other ideas?

No other ideas. Please simply clean up and try again.

can you copy and paste the exact cmake command you used?
