error when running a .lhe file

Hi Liliana,

Can you please run the code in debug mode (./bin/m5 -d) and send us the relevant part of what is printed to the screen. If you don't know what to copy exactly, please just provide the full screen output and we will deal with it.

Regards,

Benjamin

Hi, sorry for the late response I never got the notification, I did that and when I run ./bin/ma5 -d the only error that appears is:

MA5: - FastJet [OK]
MA5-DEBUG: ------------------------------------------------------
MA5-DEBUG: Detect package root
MA5-DEBUG: Is there a veto? ...
MA5-DEBUG: no user veto
MA5-DEBUG: Detection of the package in the location specified by the user ...
MA5-DEBUG: Detection of the package in the "tools" folder ...

MA5-DEBUG: Try to detect automatically the package ...

then I imported a .lhe file and plotted a mass (plot M(ta+ ta-)) and got this error:

MA5: Writing the list of datasets...
MA5: Writing the command line history...
MA5: Creating Makefiles...
MA5: Compiling 'SampleAnalyzer'...
MA5-ERROR: impossible to compile the project. For more details, see the log file:
MA5-ERROR: /home/lilianaqz/Desktop/madanalysis5/ANALYSIS_0/Build/Log/compilation.log
MA5-ERROR: job submission aborted.

and when I open the log file it says:

MA5: Writing the list of datasets...
MA5: Writing the command line history...
MA5: Creating Makefiles...
MA5: Compiling 'SampleAnalyzer'...
MA5-ERROR: impossible to compile the project. For more details, see the log file:
MA5-ERROR: /home/lilianaqz/Desktop/madanalysis5/ANALYSIS_0/Build/Log/compilation.log
MA5-ERROR: job submission aborted.

thanks again for the fast answer and for your time.

Liliana.

Hi Liliana

A quick solution is to deactivate ROOT (I believe you are not using at the moment). this can be done by setting line

# root_veto = 0 # 0=No, 1=Yes

to

root_veto = 1

in 'madanalysis/input/installation_options.dat'. Madanalysis will compile again and won't include root in the compilation.

This issue might be due to the version clash could you send include the file in "/home/lilianaqz/Desktop/madanalysis5/ANALYSIS_0/Build/Log/compilation.log" this will tell us more about the error.

Cheers
