Make directory GEANT4.
1.)
Under the directory GEANT4 makdir CLHEP and put into the directory CLHEP the source file of CLHEP, which can be downloaded from here

http://proj-clhep.web.cern.ch/proj-clhep/DISTRIBUTION/distributions/clhep-2.0.3.1.tgz

soniatemo@inca:~/GEANT4/CLHEP$ ls
clhep-2.0.3.1.tgz
In GEANT4 directory make "geant4files" directory and copy geant4 source file and all data files that you need in geant4files directory

http://geant4.cern.ch/support/source/geant4.9.1.p02.tar.gz
http://geant4.cern.ch/support/source/G4NDL.3.10.tar.gz
http://geant4.cern.ch/support/source/G4NDL.0.2.tar.gz
http://geant4.cern.ch/support/source/G4EMLOW.4.2.tar.gz
http://geant4.cern.ch/support/source/PhotonEvaporation.2.0.tar.gz
http://geant4.cern.ch/support/source/G4RadioactiveDecay.3.1.tar.gz

soniatemo@inca:~/GEANT4$ cd geantfiles/
soniatemo@inca:~/GEANT4/geantfiles$ ls
G4EMLOW.4.2.tar.gz  G4NDL.3.10.tar.gz              geant4.9.1.p02.tar.gz
G4NDL.0.2.tar.gz    G4RadioactiveDecay.3.1.tar.gz  PhotonEvaporation.2.0.tar.gz
2.) CLHEP Installation
soniatemo@inca:~/GEANT4$ cd CLHEP/


soniatemo@inca:~/GEANT4/CLHEP$ ls
clhep-2.0.3.1.tgz
Unpack the source file
soniatemo@inca:~/GEANT4/CLHEP$ tar xzf clhep-2.0.3.1.tgz
After you are done do the following

soniatemo@inca:~/GEANT4/CLHEP/2.0.3.1/CLHEP$ ./configure --prefix=/home/soniatemo/GEANT4/CLHEP --disable-shared
At the end you should get

config.status: creating test/exctestNothrow.sh
config.status: creating test/excDblThrow.sh
config.status: creating Exceptions/defs.h
config.status: executing depfiles commands
5.) Make and Install 
soniatemo@inca:~/GEANT4/CLHEP/2.0.3.1/CLHEP$ make && make install



/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 'libCLHEP-2.0.3.1.a' '/home/soniatemo/GEANT4/CLHEP/lib/libCLHEP-2.0.3.1.a'
ranlib '/home/soniatemo/GEANT4/CLHEP/lib/libCLHEP-2.0.3.1.a'
make[2]: Nothing to be done for `install-data-am'.

12.)
I can set things up so that your shell scripts and binaries are more portable,
at what may be a noticable cost in performance.  In particular, if you
ask to be portable, the following happens:

    1) Shell scripts will rely on the PATH variable rather than using
       the paths derived above.
    2) ~username interpretations will be done at run time rather than
       by Configure.
