Hi Shiba,

It seems that your hepmc files are empty. Can you please check them in a text editor?

Cheers,

Benjamin

Hi Benjamin,
                         thanks. Yes, indeed hepmc files are empty. Then shall I generate those once more ?

Regards,
Shiba

Hi Shiba,

They have not been generated for some reason and you should check what happened with the shower code.

Cheers,

Benj

This seems to be a problem with the madgraph-pythia interface. You should then contact the madgraph and pythia authors :)
