ExROOTAnalysis Link

Asked by Matthew Low

Hi,

I've been unable to install ExROOTAnalysis via the bin/mg5 install procedure. The error is gives me is that it cannot connect with the server. I can download things fine using wget from command line. This is probably some problem on my end, but do you have any idea why wget would work while the install command inside mg5 wouldn't work?

Also, I've noticed the link to download ExROOTAnalysis seems to be broken: http://madgraph.hep.uiuc.edu/Downloads/ExRootAnalysis/ExRootAnalysis_V1.0.10.tar.gz

Thanks,
- Matthew

Hi,

I've had the same problem on a different computer of not being able to install anything (or even check for updates) via the mg5 interpreter. Perhaps there is a problem with the http://madgraph.phys.ucl.ac.be/package_info.dat file?

Thanks,
- Matthew

Hi,

Sorry for all the comments. It looks like the site http://madgraph.phys.ucl.ac.be is just down. I've tried downloading from the uiuc site and it works for Pythia-pgs, but not for MadAnalysis. The error is:

Command "install MadAnalysis " interrupted in sub-command:
"install MadAnalysis" with error:
IOError : [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/Users/mattlow/Software/MadGraph5_v1_5_12/MadAnalysis/makefile'
Please report this bug on https://bugs.launchpad.net/madgraph5
More information is found in 'MG5_debug'.
Please attach this file to your report.

I guess when the UCL site is back up, this will probably all just work. For future reference to download from the uiuc I made the following edits to madgraph/interface/madgraph_interface.py

Line 3066 becomes:
data = urllib.urlopen('http://madgraph.hep.uiuc.edu/package_info.dat')

Line 3072 becomes:
path[split[0]] = split[1].replace('phys.ucl.ac.be','hep.uiuc.edu')

Hi Matthew,

Looks like http://madgraph.phys.ucl.ac.be is down.
I've just contact our IT team to have more news on the situation.

Cheers,

Olivier
