Compiling cuttools

Hi Benj,

You need gcc4.6 (or later) for this.
In principle you should have warning if your version is not compatible, did you miss those (or they are not working?)

Cheers,

Olivier

mmm
the check of the version is currently done after launch...
indeed, if ct is needed at output time, we should think of moving it...
still, i do not completely like this, because in principle one should be able to just generate the code and then copy it to another machine...
up to you to decide
Cheers
Marco

Hi Marco,

I agree on this, would be better to move the compilation of CT at the first launch command.

Cheers,

Olivier

Hello,

Indeed, the warning was not printed. I have updated to the latest version of aMC2NLO, and I have also installed the latest gcc (this took a very long time... even longer than installing Root...). Good, so here is what I did:

MG5>set lhapdf /scratch9/bfuks/lhapdf-5.8.8/build/bin/lhapdf-config
MG5>set fortran_compiler /scratch9/bfuks/gcc/build/bin/gfortran
MG5>set fastjet /scratch9/bfuks/fastjet-3.0.3/build/bin/fastjet-config
MG5>define p = p b b~
MG5>define j = j b b~
MG5>generate p p > t j [QCD]

and I got the following warning message:
WARNING: In order to be able to run MadGraph @NLO, you need to have gfortran 4.6 or later installed.
gfortran 4.4.6 2011073 has been detected

The good news is that the warning is working. The bad news is that the command "set fortran_compiler" seems to have been ignored. Any clue?

Cheers and thanks!

Benj

Ciao Benj,
the problem you are encountering comes from the fact that, for now, the fortran compiler must be in your path and called gfortran or g77.
it looks to me that this is used in many places (e.g. the install command, but I may be wrong)
isn't there any gcc/setup/gcc.sh script (this tipically is used to set that compiler as default one...)
Let me know!
Marco

Ciao Marco,

This worked. Thank you!

However, I strongly suggest that the command set fortran compiler automatically updates the PATH and LD_LIBRAARY_PATH variables behind the scenes. This would facilitate the life of the user ;)

Now the next issue, when I type launch -m, amcatnlo crashes:

aMC@NLO>launch -m
How many core do you want to use? [24, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, ... ][60s to answer]

Please report this bug on https://bugs.launchpad.net/madgraph5
More information is found in 'MG5_debug'.
Please attach this file to your report.

Benj

PS: I typed directly enter for the number of cores
PS2: I am uploading MG5_debug in a moment

As I am not finding the way to attach the debug file, I copy it here.

Cheers,

Ciao Marco,

Any news?

Cheers,

Ciao guys,

This bug is not there anymore, with the new version (I did a bzr pull this morning). But I still have issues with versioning and gcc. I'll try to clear it myself. If not succeeding, I will come back to you.

Cheers and thanks,

Benj
