gridpack fails compilation

Hi Valerio,

Are you using the latest MG version?
I've try and didn't reproduce your error (which I should since it looks like a missing file).

Do you have the file
.madevent/Source/gen_ximprove.f
in your grid pack?

If you use the beta version of MG (2.0.0beta3), you will have MadSpin included (arXiv:1212.3460).
Which also decays the event (no only SM) but with full spin correlation (instead of partial spin-correlation for DECAY)
and with off-shell effect (neglected with DECAY).
Of course this programs runs slower than DECAY (but Note that MadSpin is going to be fasten by a factor 10)
The advantages for you is that MS can be run automatically (via a card configuration).

Cheers,

Olivier

Hi Olivier,

I am using version 1.5.11.

I do see the file madevent/Source/gen_ximprove.f in the folder produced by the output command,
but I don't see it in the gridpack.

Anyway, I will try to move to the beta version as you suggested.

thanks a lot,

Valerio
