why do i have to configure root everytime i open ma5

Dear Namrata,

I am not sure to have understood tue problem correctly. However, my simple guess would be to add the setup of the environment variables in your bashrc file.

Best regards,

Benjamin

Dear Benjamin,
i did setup the enviornment variables in my bashrc file now the root problem is solved ....but m still getting the following error msg:
 ** ERROR: errors occured during compilation. For more details, see the file :
 ** ERROR: /home/namrata/Downloads/madanalysis5/tools/SampleAnalyzer/compilation.log
 ** ERROR: library building aborted.
wat to do to resolve this one ?
namrata

Dear Namrata,

Could you please provide me the log files.

Best regards,

Benjamin

here is the content of the compilation.log

what can be done to get rid of this error ?

This is really weird. Could you please provide some information about your system and compilers?

Cheers,

Could you please try with v1.1.11beta and let me know if the problem persists?

Cheers,

Benjamin

hi benjamin,
thanks for ur reply.....finally with this beta v1.1.11 i actually got to ma5 prompt .....cheers !
MadGraph 5 NOT found:
  => Particle labels from input/particles_name_default.txt
  => 87 particles successfully exported.
  => Multiparticle labels from madanalysis/input/multiparticles_default.txt
  => Creation of the label 'invisible' (-> missing energy).
  => Creation of the label 'hadronic' (-> jet energy).
  => 8 multiparticles successfully exported.
ma5>
 this is the last something i just got .....but why does it say madgraph not found ? .....is there something still wrong ?
please reply....once again thanks a lot for ur help .
namrata

Hi,

Don't worry about the madgraph statement. This means madanalysis will be used as a standalone package. This is more for future developments in the case the code is embedded fully into madgraph.

Cheers,

Benjamin
