Bug Description

Hi MadAnalysis team,

I was having trouble installing MCatNLO, so I took a look at the source code. It seems that MCatNLO is no longer downloaded with the command "install MCatNLO-utilites" (see /madanalysis/interpreter/cmd_install.py, line 314), but requires that the mcatnlo.tar.gz file be placed in the directory above /madanalysis5.

I couldn't find mcatnlo.tar.gz bundled with the download (via direct or bzr), but downloading it separately (bzr branch lp:mcatnlo-utilities) and tarballing it to extract correctly (i.e. from inside the MCatNLO-utilities directory: tar -czvf mcatnlo.tar.gz ./) worked. Is this a bug? Should mcatnlo.tgz be included in the madanalysis tar ball?

Best, and thanks for your hard work,
Chris

Dear Chris,

MC@NLO cannot be installed from MadAnalysis 5. At some points, we were able to get MC@NLO utilities (which are different from MC@NLO itself), but this is no longer supported. The installation message will disappear from the next release.

Regards,

Benjamin

Dear Benjamin.

Apologies, that was sloppy of me. All instances of MCatNLO above should be replaced with MCatNLO-utilities. However, since they are no longer supported, this solves my query.

Thanks,
Chris
