Below are some steps for making GEANT4 with visualization run on
rsplus.cern.ch.

On other machines, in other locations, you will have to check the
availability and location of graphics libraries.  Also, you will need
RogueWave tools.h++ - headers usually in /usr/local/include/rw/,
library in /usr/local/lib.  Instead of RogueWave tools.h++, 
you can also use STL.  See global/GNUmakefile.architecture for clues 
to what is required.

We will assume that you have a checked-out or updated version of
geant4 with the visualization/ directory and sub-directories.  For
that you will needed to have done the following.

1) Set the following environment variables:

     setenv CVSROOT /afs/cern.ch/sw/geant4/cvs
     setenv G4SYSTEM AIX-xlC
     setenv G4INSTALL <your-geant4-wd>/geant4
     setenv G4WORKDIR <your-scratch>/geant4_workdir
     setenv G4LIB $G4WORKDIR

Now, here are the visualization-specific actions.

2) Decide which graphics systems drivers you want.  The choice depends
   on what graphics libraries you have access to.  Set the appropriate
   environment variables.  Here are the current possibilities:

     setenv G4VIS_BUILD_DAWNFILE_DRIVER     1  # Uses Fukui Renderer DAWN 
                                               #  with file connection 
                                               #  (recommended) 
     setenv G4VIS_BUILD_DAWN_DRIVER         1  # Uses Fukui Renderer DAWN 
                                               #  with network connection
                                               #  (for remote visualization)

     setenv G4VIS_BUILD_OPACS_DRIVER        1  # Uses OPACS graphics libraries

     setenv G4VIS_BUILD_OPENGLX_DRIVER      1  # Uses OpenGL libraries
     setenv G4VIS_BUILD_OPENGLXM_DRIVER     1  # Uses OpenGL and Motif 
                                               #  libraries

     setenv G4VIS_BUILD_OIX_DRIVER          1  # Uses OpenInventor X11

     setenv G4VIS_BUILD_VRMLFILE_DRIVER     1  # Writes VRML ascii files
                                               #  to a local host
                                               #  (recommended)
     setenv G4VIS_BUILD_VRML_DRIVER         1  # Sends  VRML ascii files
                                               #  to a remote host 
                                               #  (for remote visualization)

   Setting any of these sets a C-pre-processor flag of the same name
   and a C-pre-processor flag G4VIS_BUILD.

   In some cases you will need additional variables, e.g.:

     setenv DAWN_HOME /afs/cern.ch/rd44/dev/DAWN/AIX-xlC

     set path=( $path $DAWN_HOME )

     setenv OPACS_HOME ~/private/GEANT4/OPACS

     setenv OGLHOME /afs/cern.ch/rd44/dev/Mesa/Mesa-1.2.8

   If you are going to use widgets, then you might need to set the
   environment variable:

     setenv XKEYSYMDB /usr/lib/X11/XKeysymDB

   If you decided to use the Fukui Renderer DAWN, you will also need
   to set, on rsplus, 

     setenv TCL_LIBRARY /usr/local/lib/tcl8.0
     setenv TK_LIBRARY  /usr/local/lib/tk8.0

   Such setting is not necessary on other machines, where only one version 
   of Tcl/Tk is installed.

3) Compile and build the visualization and interfaces libraries from clean.

   *******************************************************************
   NOTE THAT IF YOU CHANGE ANY OF THE ABOVE ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES THEN
   YOU WILL HAVE TO:
   a) "gmake clean" IN THE APPROPRIATE SUBDIRECTORY - E.G.,
      (cd visualization/OpenGL/; gmake clean; gmake)
   b) TOUCH AND RECOMPILE G4VisManager - E.G.
      (cd visualization/; touch management/src/G4VisManager.cc; gmake)
   *******************************************************************


4) Decide which graphics systems you want to use in your particular
   excutable.  Of course, this has to be chosen from the set you
   installed in (2) above.  Here are the current possibilities:

     setenv G4VIS_USE_DAWNFILE     1
     setenv G4VIS_USE_DAWN         1
     setenv G4VIS_USE_OPACS        1
     setenv G4VIS_USE_OPENGLX      1
     setenv G4VIS_USE_OPENGLXM     1
     setenv G4VIS_USE_OIX          1
     setenv G4VIS_USE_VRMLFILE     1
     setenv G4VIS_USE_VRML         1

   Setting any of these sets a C-pre-processor flag of the same name.
   Also, setting any of these sets the G4VIS_USE C-pre-processor flag
   - see examples/novices/N02/exampleN02.cc to see a use of this.

   The default graphics systems are registered when you execute
   G4VisManager::Initialise() (or G4VisManager::Initialize()).  Note
   also that you can register graphics systems directly, e.g.,
   pVisManager->RegisterGraphicsSystem ( new DAWNFILE ).  You can
   also register your own graphics system, e.g.,
   pVisManager->RegisterGraphicsSystem (new MyGraphicsSystem).


5) Compile and link your code.

   *******************************************************************
   NOTE THAT IF YOU CHANGE ANY OF THE ABOVE ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES THEN
   YOU WILL HAVE TO RECOMPILE YOUR DERIVED VIS MANAGER CLASS, E.G.,
      touch src/MyVisManager.cc; gmake
   *******************************************************************


6) To compile and link your program, e.g.:

     cd examples/novice/N03
     gmake

7) To run:

     setenv DISPLAY <local IP address>:0
     $G4WORKDIR/bin/$G4SYSTEM/exampleN03

On other machines.

OpenGL: If you are using Mesa, you might need:
          ln -s libMesaGL.a libGL.a

Initialising Visualization Manager....

The following graphics systems drivers are supported in the GEANT4 distribution:

  DAWN     (socket connection to the Fukui Renderer DAWN) High quality technical renderer.
    Features:      exact hidden line, hidden surface algorithms.
                   high (unlimited) resolution.
                   renders to PostScript for viewing and/or hardcopy.
                   remote rendering.
                   off-line rendering.
                   graphical user interface.
    Disadvantages: compute intensive, takes time (use a fast graphics
                   system, such as OpenGL, to select view, then copy
                   to this renderer - /vis~/copy/view, /vis~/set/view).

  DAWNFILE (file connection to the Fukui Renderer DAWN  ) High quality technical renderer.
    Features:      exact hidden line, hidden surface algorithms.
                   high (unlimited) resolution.
                   renders to PostScript for viewing and/or hardcopy.
                   remote rendering.
                   off-line rendering.
                   graphical user interface.
                   connection via g4.prim file to Fukui Renderer DAWN etc.
    Disadvantages: compute intensive, takes time (use a fast graphics
                   system, such as OpenGL, to select view, then copy
                   to this renderer - /vis~/copy/view, /vis~/set/view).

  OPACS (the Orsay Package) 

  OpenGLIX (direct/immediate drawing on X Windows)
    Dumb single buffered X Window, No Graphics Database.
    Advantages:    does not gobble server memory.
                   good for drawing steps and hits.
    Disadvantages: needs G4 kernel for re-Draw.
                   cannot take advantage of graphics accelerators.

  OpenGLSX (display List/stored drawing on X Windows)
    Dumb double buffered X Window with Graphics Database.
    Advantages:    uses display lists as graphics database.
                   fastest possible redraw, e.g., on simple change
                     of viewpoint.
                   uses client-server model for remote viewing
                     (but only if you have a full client-server
                     implementation of OpenGL, i.e., not Mesa).
    Disadvantages: not advised for viewing large numbers of steps
                     and/or hits, because it gobbles memory for database.

  OpenGLIXm (with Motif widgets)
    Smart single buffered X Window, No Graphics Database.
    Advantages:    resizeable, and has Motif-based view-control panel.
                   does not gobble server memory.
                   good for drawing steps and hits.
    Disadvantages: currently locks out GEANT4 commands, until "exit".
                   needs G4 kernel for re-Draw.
                   cannot take advantage of graphics accelerators.

  OpenGLSXm (with Motif widgets)
    Smart double buffered X Window with Graphics Database.
    Advantages:    resizeable, and has Motif-based view-control panel.
                   uses display lists as graphics database.
                   fastest possible redraw, e.g., on simple change
                     of viewpoint.
                   uses client-server model for remote viewing
                     (but only if you have a full client-server
                     implementation of OpenGL, i.e., not Mesa).
    Disadvantages: currently locks out GEANT4 commands, until "exit".
                   not advised for viewing large numbers of steps
                     and/or hits, because it gobbles memory for database.

  Open Inventor    Open Inventor Window/View/Scene.
    Advantages:    Open Inventor feature set (interactivity, scene control).
    Disadvantages: Requires Open Inventor license ($$), Hepvis library (Free).

  VRML1     (produces VRML 1 file over network)
  VRML1FILE (produces VRML 1 file locally    )

  VRML2     (produces VRML 2 file over network)

  VRML2FILE (produces VRML 2 file locally    )

The following graphics systems drivers are installed on your system:
  DAWN     (socket connection to the Fukui Renderer DAWN)
  DAWNFILE (file connection to the Fukui Renderer DAWN)
  OPACS (the Orsay Package)
  OpenGLIX (direct/immediate drawing on X Windows)
  OpenGLSX (display List/stored drawing on X Windows)
  OpenGLIXm (with Motif widgets)
  OpenGLSXm (with Motif widgets)
  VRML1 (produces VRML 1 file over network)
  VRML2 (produces VRML 2 file over network), in preparation
  VRML1File (produces VRML 1 file locally)
  VRML2File (produces VRML 2 file locally), in preparation

You have instantiated your own Visualization Manager, inheriting
  G4VisManager and implementing RegisterGraphicsSystems.  An example
  class MyVisManager is provided which is controlled by the
  following environment variables:
    G4VIS_USE_DAWN
    G4VIS_USE_DAWNFILE
    G4VIS_USE_OPACS
    G4VIS_USE_OPENGLX
    G4VIS_USE_OPENGLXM
    G4VIS_USE_VRML
    G4VIS_USE_VRMLFILE
  Thus, in your main() you have something like:
    G4VisManager* visManager = new MyVisManager;
    visManager -> Initialize ();
  (Don't forget to delete visManager;)
