Hi Koren,

Please use v1.6beta. This has been fixed in that version (the mg5 tarball will be updated this week or the following one.

Regards,

Benjamin

Thanks Benjamin Fuks, that solved my question.

Thanks for the quick response!

Sorry, I prematurely clicked that button. Unfortunately I seem to be having the same problem using v1.6.31 which I downloaded from here: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ma5dev/madanalysis5/v1.6beta/revision/182

The log files are exactly the same, as is the first error. The error upon installing a second time is roughly the same as well:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "~ma5dev/madanalysis5/v1.6beta/bin/ma5", line 70, in <module>
    madanalysis.core.launcher.LaunchMA5(version, date, ma5dir)

    repeat = MainSession(mode,arglist,ma5dir,version,date)
  File "/home/koren/~ma5dev/madanalysis5/v1.6beta/madanalysis/core/launcher.py", line 302, in MainSession
    interpreter.cmdloop()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/cmd.py", line 142, in cmdloop
    stop = self.onecmd(line)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/cmd.py", line 221, in onecmd
    return func(arg)
  File "/home/koren/~ma5dev/madanalysis5/v1.6beta/madanalysis/interpreter/interpreter.py", line 252, in do_install
    result = self.cmd_install.do(self.split_arg(line))
  File "/home/koren/~ma5dev/madanalysis5/v1.6beta/madanalysis/interpreter/cmd_install.py", line 129, in do
    return inst_delphes(self.main,installer)
  File "/home/koren/~ma5dev/madanalysis5/v1.6beta/madanalysis/interpreter/cmd_install.py", line 70, in inst_delphes
    ResuActi = installer.Activate('delphes')
  File "/home/koren/~ma5dev/madanalysis5/v1.6beta/madanalysis/install/install_manager.py", line 253, in Activate
    return installer.Activate()
  File "/home/koren/~ma5dev/madanalysis5/v1.6beta/madanalysis/install/install_delphes.py", line 570, in Activate
    hasdelphes = checker.checkDelphes(True)

IndexError: list index out of range

Is there any other information I could supply that would be helpful?

Hi Seth,

We just noticed that answer. We are on it.

Cheers,

Benjamin and Eric

Dear Seth,

I am sorry to reply you so lately.

I think the problem is stemmed from the fact that the tclsh program is not installed on your system. This package is required for Delphes.

Cheers,
Eric

Hi Eric,

That was it! Great, thanks so much for your help.

Best,

Seth
