G4beamline 2.14 has just been released, and is available for download at:
     http://g4beamline.muonsinc.com

Major Changes from 2.12:
   * MPI works on both Mac OS X and on hopper.nersc.gov (Linux)
     (see below)
   * '#' now comments to end-of-line after command text
   * -O3 added to compilation (can be over-ridden in configure)
   * Geometrical voxels are used to speed up the EM field computation
     This _greatly_ speeds up simulating large systems.
   * New command ‘emfactor” to modify ionization energy loss and multiple
     scattering
   * g4bldata and G4blData.java revised to permit user setting Geant4Data
     directory. Complete code revision for downloading data.

For MAP, it has been installed on hopper.nersc.gov, with MPI enabled.
If your shell is bash, ksh, or sh, do:
   source /project/projectdirs/map/Codes/G4beamline-2.14/bin/g4bl-setup.sh
If your shell is csh or tcsh, do:
   source /project/projectdirs/map/Codes/G4beamline-2.14/bin/g4bl-setup.csh

Please read section 8.5 of the Users Guide before attempting to use MPI (which 
is the whole point of using Hopper, of course). It is available here:
     http://muonsinc.com/g4beamline/G4beamlineUsersGuide.pdf

There are two examples using MPI in
     /project/projectdirs/map/Users/tjrob/Benchmark
