ExRootAnalysis: no dictionary for class TRootLHEFEvent is available

Asked by Alexander Karlberg

Hi!

I have installed ExRootAnalysis via the install command in MG/ME. Now when I launch a process I get the following error

[...]
Error in <UnknownClass::RegisterModule>: cannot find dictionary module ExRootAnalysisDict_rdict.pcm in /home/karlberg/Install/root/lib:/home/karlberg/Install/root/lib:/home/karlberg/Install/MadGraph5_v1_5_1/ExRootAnalysis

Followed by the requested cross section. The first part about the missing dictionary modules I can get rid of by simply copying them from the tmp-folder into my root installation, but after that I still have an issue with the TRootLHEFEvent dictionary. It seems something has gone wrong in the installation of ExRootAnalysis. My guess is that some files weren't copied to the correct locations...

By the way, I have tried to download ExRootAnalysis directly from the MG webpage and compiling it. When running ExRootLHEFConverter directly on the produced .lhe file, I get exactly the same error.

I run Ubuntu 12.04 (64-bit). I have aslo tried on a machine running MacOSX and have the same problem there.

I hope you can help, and thanks in advance!
Alexander

By the way I am running Root 5.34. I am at moment trying to compile everything with 5.28 instead.

It seems to work with ROOT 5.28.

Hi Alexander,

Thanks for the information, I'm adding Pavel (the ExRootAnalysis author) such that he can take a look at this problem.

Thanks,

Olivier

Hi Alexander,

I've just tried ExRootLHEFConverter with ROOT 5.34.05 under Scientific Linux 5 64-bit and could not reproduce your problem.

I'll install a virtual machine with Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit and redo the test.

Here are the commands that I run:

wget http://madgraph.phys.ucl.ac.be/Downloads/ExRootAnalysis/ExRootAnalysis_V1.0.10.tar.gz
tar -zxf ExRootAnalysis_V1.0.10.tar.gz
cd ExRootAnalysis
make -j 8
wget http://<email address hidden>/Plotting/Plot_0/unweighted_events.lhe.gz
gunzip unweighted_events.lhe.gz
./ExRootLHEFConverter unweighted_events.lhe unweighted_events.root

Regards,

Pavel

Hi Alexander,

I've just tested ExRootLHEFConverter with ROOT 5.34.05 under Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit and still can't reproduce your problem.

My ROOT binaries can be downloaded from

http://cp3.irmp.ucl.ac.be/~demin/root-5.34.05-ub1204_amd64_gcc46.tgz

Regards,

Pavel

Dear Pavel,

I am having a similar problem, though not quite so but the title in this thread matches %100.

I use MG5_v2_1_2, and I installed ExRootAnalysis by install command in mg5_aMC.
Everything works fine, I generate events and have root file at the end without any problem.
But when I open the root file in ROOT (v 5.34/14) by the following command;

root -l unweighted_events.root

I get the following warnings;

Attaching file unweighted_events.root as _file0...
Warning in <TClass::TClass>: no dictionary for class TRootLHEFEvent is available
Warning in <TClass::TClass>: no dictionary for class TRootWeight is available
Warning in <TClass::TClass>: no dictionary for class TRootLHEFParticle is available
Warning in <TClass::TClass>: no dictionary for class TSortableObject is available

I am not sure whether this is related with MG5 or ROOT.
Any suggestions?

thanks.

Hi Tulio,

Could you please provide more details about what exactly doesn't work
for you? Have you tried to follow the instructions from
ExRootAnalysis/doc/README?

Cheers,

Pavel

Hi,

The problem was solved!

I didn't generated the files '.root' containing the histograms that I wanted to stack.

thanks
