For successfully compiling Geant4 in Unbuntu 10.04 we found valuable information in this link: https://www.ece.ualberta.ca/~kirkwood/GEANT4-Kubuntu.html in our case, the libraries which had to be installed were : libglu1-mesa-dev libxt-dev libxmu-dev After that, we compiled Geant4 9.2 Patch-03 without problems. In a more recent installation of Geant4 in another computer, also running Ubuntu 10.04, we had compilation errors and it was necessary also to install zlib1g-dev Furthermore, for the installation of ROOT we needed: libxft-dev libxpm-dev |
