24 - You need to have built the persistency/gdml << 25 - You need to have built the persistency/gdml plugin module by having
25 set the -DGEANT4_USE_GDML=ON flag during the << 26 set G4LIB_BUILD_GDML variable in your environment.
26 as well as the -DXERCESC_ROOT_DIR=<path_to_x << 27 It is also required you specify the path where the XercesC XML parser
