permission deny error to download a PDF with lhapdf on a server

Asked by alireza.daneshvar

Hello,
I am trying to run MG5_aMC_v2_2_2 on a machine of SMU university.
on this machine they have installed an lhapdf in /usr/local which I don't have permission to get access there and I get this error when it trying to download the PDF:

INFO: Using LHAPDF v5.8.9 interface for PDFs
INFO: Trying to download NNPDF23_nlo_as_0118.LHgrid
Getting sets from http://www.hepforge.org/archive/lhapdf/pdfsets/current

WARNING: Could not download NNPDF23_nlo_as_0118.LHgrid into /users/ali/MG5_aMC_v2_2_2/amcfast_test/lib/PDFsets. Trying to save it locally

So, I have attempted to install a local lhapdf and set the lhapdf-config to this and then I get this error:

I think as you can see it cannot find the library of gfortran and applgrid I do n't know how to give the path of this library to madgraph, I'm trying LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/.../ but it was not useful.
I wil appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Alirzea.

Hi,
the error seems to be related to
    /usr/bin/ld: warning: libgfortran.so.1, needed by /users/ali/lib/libLHAPDF.so, not found

how did you installed lhapdf?
if it is a global installatio, was it compiled with the same fortran compiler that you are using now?
on which system are you working?

Cheers,

Marco

Dear Marco,
Thank you for your email, I am working on a server from SMU university, (
fred.physics.smu.edu), on this system there is available a LHAPDF v5.8.9 by
default on this machine in /usr/local/lib, when I run without lhapdf
interface it work properly but during running with lhapdf I got this error:

/users/ali/MG5_aMC_v2_2_2/test/lib/PDFsets. Trying to save it locally

So, first. I have saved the PDF locally in
:/users/ali/MG5_aMC_v2_2_2/test/lib/PDFsets, but it gave same error.

then, I have attempted to install lhapdf locally:
./configure --prefix=/users/ali/local, and set lhapdf
/users/ali/bin/lhapdf-config, now after a lot of warning and error it
calculate the total cross section which I have attached the screen shot of
my terminal about this.

About, fortran compiler I think it use same compiler.

I have attached the output of my
Thanks,

Hi Arileza,
can you try to install and compile yourself locally lhapdf, to see in particular if the compilation error is still there?
Let me know,

Marco

Dear Marco,

Thank you for your comments, I think there was something wrong with the
version of lhapdf on my machine, I have moved from version 5.9.1 to 5.8.9
and it is work properly now.

Thanks,
Alireza
