I will definitively consider doing it. Maybe even just for the sake of learning. For now until I get more complaints it won't be my priority to split the packages -at least for a couple of weeks-. Please remember I am writing my PhD thesis and that is my priority. Nevertheless it looks easy enough to give a go really soon. However I do not want to just edit that example. Is it documented somewhere? Thank you very much.

What you could consider is using split package to split this in geant4/geant4-data, where the latter would hold the data files. You find an example on how to split here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=47680

Well. If too many people face the issue then yes I would consider disabling it but I prefer to have by default the most complete posible "package" built. for now I think having documented the alternative is enough. please report back if you encounter any other issue. :)

OK. Thanks. I think, it's better to let the user download the data manually, because the data archives are big and the network status is quite different.

Then download yourself the data files you need from the following site: http://geant4.cern.ch/support/download.shtml then unpack them somewhere, for example to: /usr/local/GEANT4/data/ and then define the variables somewhere in your global scripts export G4ABLADATA=/usr/local/GEANT4/data/G4ABLA3.0 export G4LEDATA=/usr/local/GEANT4/data/G4EMLOW6.23 export G4LEVELGAMMADATA=/usr/local/GEANT4/data/PhotonEvaporation2.2 export G4NEUTRONHPDATA=/usr/local/GEANT4/data/G4NDL4.0 export G4NEUTRONXSDATA=/usr/local/GEANT4/data/G4NEUTRONXS1.1 export G4PIIDATA=/usr/local/GEANT4/data/G4PII1.3 export G4RADIOACTIVEDATA=/usr/local/GEANT4/data/RadioactiveDecay3.4 export G4REALSURFACEDATA=/usr/local/GEANT4/data/RealSurface1.0 and tell me how it goes.

I succeeded in building the package by turning off the GEANT4_INSTALL_DATA.

Mmm that is VERY odd. I would suggest you to try two things: 1) Please try again to install the package, just for the sake of it. 2) Try deactivating the feature that downloads the data files since the error you reported seems to be related to it. To do so just change in the PKGBUILD form -DGEANT4_INSTALL_DATA=ON \ to -DGEANT4_INSTALL_DATA=OFF \ and please let me know how it goes. If by doing solution two it works I strongly suggest you trying solution 1) since apparently the Photon-evaporation files you downloaded got corrupted.
