Hello Stuart,

Yes, you will need the entire set of software to study any of the detector components fully.

SLIC is the simulation engine that simulates our experiment using the GEANT4 libraries. It is an essential component to do Monte Carlo studies of the detector. 

Best,
	Maurik

I managed to set up the HPS software on my own laptop a few days ago, with a minor hack or two to suit my system (I've yet to update, but I don't foresee any problems).  Eventually, we'd like a central setup on our network here in Genova, similar to what we have for other JLab software, so we can have the ability to farm out more processor-intensive tasks and such like.  Is it worthwhile looking at performing a full install of the all the components, or should we be looking only at a subset relating to our efforts on the ECal?  Any advice would be appreciated.

It might be worth updating the confluence page (https://confluence.slac.stanford.edu/display/hpsg/Installing+HPS+Software) telling how to install the software if it will now be necessary to install GeomConverter->lcsim->hps-java, assuming that this isn't just a weird glitch on my end. When that was last updated, hps-java built regardless of whether the other two had been built or not. (I don't have the ability to edit it.)

The modules GeomConverter, hps-detectors, hps-et-java, jevio-base, lcsim-conditions, and lcsim-parent all built correctly without problems. However, hps-java and lcsim both ran into compilation problems. With hps-java, I got the error:

I'm not sure if this is intentional, but previously I was able to build it successfully without having to build GeomConverter as well. hps-java still gives errors pertaining to SVTConditionLoader even if I compile all the aforementioned modules before it. I can include log files detailing the full output if necessary and this was compiled on "Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.7 (Tikanga)," if it useful to know.
