MadGraph5_v1.5.14 on OS X 10.6

Asked by Matthew Low

Hi,

I apologize if this ends up being a silly question, but after having used 1.5.12 fine for some time, I've downloaded 1.5.14 and it doesn't appear to work for me on Mac OS X 10.6. When I try to generate events I get (neither single running nor multicore modes work):

Generating 10000 events with run name run_01
survey run_01
compile directory
Using random number seed offset = 21
Running Survey
Creating Jobs
Working on SubProcesses
    P3_gg_ttx
    P2_gq_lvlq
./ajob1: line 4: seq: command not found
./ajob1: line 4: seq: command not found
    P2_qq_lvlg
./ajob1: line 4: seq: command not found
./ajob1: line 4: seq: command not found
    P1_qq_lvl
./ajob1: line 4: seq: command not found
./ajob1: line 4: seq: command not found
    P3_qq_ttx
./ajob1: line 4: seq: command not found
./ajob1: line 4: seq: command not found
 Idle: 0 Running: 0 Finish: 5
Start waiting for update on filesystem. (more info in debug mode)

And then it hangs in that state. I've tried running on a linux machine and it works fine there. Let me know if I can provide any other information.

Thanks,
- Matthew

Hi Matthew,

Looks like I introduce a dependencies a bash function (seq) which was only recently introduce on Mac.
and therefore MG5 is currently not compatible anymore with OX10.5 and OSX10.6. I'm not sure about the status of 10.7,
but it works for sure on 10.8/10.9.
Thanks to some collaborators, I'm going to change all call to that function to restore the compatibility with those version.
The new version is under validation and will arrive before Christmas.

Cheers,

Olivier

Dear Olivier: just a comment on this, I am using the MG5 v1.14 downloaded from the web after xmas. however, I can not get it work in OsX 10.5.8 (identical issue to the one spotted on this thread). Could you let me know from where I can download the new release and/or patch fro the web version.

thanks in advance,

arian

thus I have to upgrade MG version instead. i was reluctant to do so, the
new MG compilation requirements needs some work on 10.5.8 but I have no
choice. thanks for your help.

Hi,

As long as you don't run any NLO run, you can still use the same version of gfortran/...

Cheers,

Olivier
