problems initiating mg5

Asked by Elmer Ramirez Barreto

Hi MG5 team,

 when I try to compile ./bin/mg5, I get the following messages:.

load MG5 configuration from input/mg5_configuration.txt
Using default text editor "vi". Set another one in ./input/mg5_configuration.txt
Using default eps viewer "gv". Set another one in ./input/mg5_configuration.txt
Using default web browser "firefox". Set another one in ./input/mg5_configuration.txt
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./bin/mg5", line 147, in <module>
    cmd_line.cmdloop()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/cmd.py", line 109, in cmdloop
    self.preloop()
  File "/home/elmer/MadGraph5_v1_5_0/madgraph/interface/madgraph_interface.py", line 1807, in preloop
    self.do_install('update --mode=mg5_start')
  File "/home/elmer/MadGraph5_v1_5_0/madgraph/interface/master_interface.py", line 279, in do_install
    return self.cmd.do_install(self, *args, **opts)
  File "/home/elmer/MadGraph5_v1_5_0/madgraph/interface/madgraph_interface.py", line 3017, in do_install
    self.install_update(args, wget=program)
  File "/home/elmer/MadGraph5_v1_5_0/madgraph/interface/madgraph_interface.py", line 3198, in install_update
    if time.time() - data['last_check'] < update_delay:
KeyError: 'last_check'

 Any suggestions to compile successfully madgraph5?

Thanks you in advance
Elmer

Hi Elmer,

From your path directory, it looks like that you are using MG5.1.5.0, is it correct?
Please install the latest version and this should pass out of the box.

Cheers,

Olivier
