Using model_v4 with read-only file system?

Asked by Miriam Diamond

Hi,

I'm trying to use a custom user model_v4, where the MG5 directory is on a read-only file system. MG5 has no problem generating the process, creating the process directory, etc. But then MG5 tries to compile the v4 model, and because the v4 model files are in a read-only area, the compilation fails.

Is there any work-around or small changes to the code that I can implement for this?

Hi,

1) Did you try to modify the file madgraph/__init__.py
and set
ReadWrite=False
in that file?

If you did/does not help, please open a bug report and attach the debug file. Otherwise I have no idea why it crash.

Cheers,

Olivier
