Pythia8 installation woes in v2.5.0.beta
Hi Valentin,
I am trying out v2.5.0.beta but am running into the same problem compiling pythia8 on two different machines. While trying the command "install pythia8" I get the output below. It seems pythia8 is having difficulty compiling "LHAPDF6Plugin.o" and is asking (?) to recompile with flag "-fPIC". However, I am unsure if this is the correct assessment nor how to best implement this change.
There is also an interesting flag in my pythia8 configuration: --with-
This is different from all the other flags, which reference the absolute path to the HEPTools directory.
Best,
Richard

HI Richard,
Can you tell me if it works when removing the dependency to lhapdf6; that is with an install command like this:
install pythia8 --with_lhapdf6=OFF --keep_source --logging=DEBUG
Also, if you have successfully installed Pythia8 by yourself on any of the two machines you tested, it would be interesting to compare the respective configure lines (Pythia8 installation doesn't produce a 'config.log' file by default, but on recent enough versions you can access the config line with './pythia8-config --config').
Cheers

Dear Richard,
Thanks again for your feedback.
I'll address your various points in order:
1. Do you know how the MG5aMC option 'lhapdf_path' got "unset" in your configuration?
Did that happen as a result of installing Pythia8 with the option '--with_
If this is so, it is not supposed to behave like this, and we should fix this.
2. Ouch, this is quite a blunder. We didn't notice this because both Olivier and myself are working on MacOS whose file system is case-insensitive.
I have now fixed it in the development branch 2.5.1, but this might warrant a quick fix for the released v2.5.0.beta tarball.
3. This is because you have ran our code directly from the output directory, i.e. using the executables in '<PROC_
The preferred way to run the code is by accessing all these functionalities using
./bin/mg5_aMC
in your madgraph distribution and then starting the madevent interactive interface with
launch <PROC_OUTPUT> -i
You can then use a whole list of commands to run on this output, which includes (but not limited to) the functionalities available using the executable in the PROC_OUTPUT.
One fo the difference with steering the code in this way is that we can rely on the location of your MG5aMC installation (stored in the variable MG5DIR').
When not doing so, we have do some gymnastics to get there, and it was not correctly coded in this case.
I have fixed this in the development branch v2.5.1, but for now you can solve your last issue by running the code as suggested above.
I will look for a way to bring these important fixes as soon as possible in the publicly released tarball.
Thanks a lot for your tests and feedback.

I have now assigned Stefan Prestel to this issue, so that he can look into what happened with the compilation of Pythia8 with the lhapdf6 plugin, as it seems very likely to be a problem of the Pythia8 installation makefiles and not directly related to MG5aMC.
Regarding the 'unsetting' of 'lhapdf_path' when you installed Pythia8 with '--with_
Now, NNPDF 2.3 QED might not play nice with lhapdf5, and you reverted your MG5aMC lhapdf to the system-wide 'lhapdf-config' (which is v6 I assume then) which solved your issue for that PDF set.
I therefore think that for that particular point, things are fine as they are now then.
I should have suggested you to use '--with_lhapdf6=OFF --with_lhapdf5=OFF' instead, so that Pythia8 would not have been linked against LHPADF at all, and you wouldn't have suffered this inconvenience then.

Stefan Prestel must still look into the Pythia8 compilation issue when linking to LHAPDF6.

Hi Valentine,
1. Regarding the lhapdf issue, I agree that this might be a (multiple) library conflict with v5 and v6, but also with NNPDF QED, caused by me. I previously commented out 'lhapdf_path' (to v6) since the pythia8 installation complained about lhapdf6 and was nicer after removing the reference. I suspect keeping the path to "lhapdf-config" but adding the --without-lhapdf flag will solve my problems. Thanks for the solution.
3. Interesting. I always thought working from the working directories themselves was the preferred/
Again, I appreciate the work everyone does. Thanks! Hopefully Stefan and I will be able to hash things out quickly.
Best,
Richard

3. Running any functionality from the process output executables or from the interactive interface started with 'launch -i' should not yield any difference from a physics standpoint.
From an execution standpoint, the former approach uses the MG5aMC python modules of your original distribution whereas the latter one uses the modules exported and written out with the process output (and MG5DIR is not set).
For this reason, it is actually preferable to steer things from 'launch -i' so as to make sure that it is your current MG5aMC distribution that is active.
Your checks and feedback are very much appreciated as well.

One thing you could try (awaiting Stefan's answer) is to recompile pythia8 by hand with the C++ flag (-fPIC) and see if it solves the issue.
You can usually do so if you had tried to install your PY8 distribution via MG5aMC with option '--keep_source', that is:
MG5_aMC> install pythia8 --keep_source
You can then find PY8 sources in
<MG5aMC_
where you can run the following executable to find out what were its configuration options:
./bin/pythia8-
In my case it returns something like
./bin/pythia8-
./configure --prefix=
So what you can try is to run 'make clean' in your 'pythia8_src' directory and reconfigure it with the line you would have obtained above, but with '-fPIC' added to the list of '--cxx-common' options.
Then you can run 'make' and 'make install' and see if it works this way.
Of course make sure that your previous attempted installation of pythia8 included lhapdf6, so that the configure line you obtain above does have the specification of the lhapdf6 dependency.
If you tell me that the above works, then I'll be able to directly modify our installer and distribute it automatically for all users without any re-release of MG5aMC. So this could potentially help many users and be quite useful.
Thank you again for your help in investigating this issue (that I unfortunately cannot reproduce on my own with my setup).

Hi Valentin,
With the beta2 release, I installed PY8, etc., with the "--without-lhapdf" flag and everything worked as one would hope. My default MG/ME configuration file does indeed point to my primary lhapd-config installation.
My config output gives the following:
MG5_aMC_
./configure --prefix=

Thanks for the check Richard,
However, I would like to see if we can manage to have the PY8 LHAPDF linking working (that is, *without* the option '--without-lhapdf' ) on your machines as well, so could you try the approach I suggested in my previous message (i.e. adding -fPIC to the PY8 compilation flags) and tell me if it works?

Excellent, then I'll consider adding '-fPIC by default' to the flags in my installer.
Before doing this however, I should understand what happened with the pythia8_version checker.
So could you try to run it by hand? In order to do this, just 'cd' into the 'MG5aMC_
./get_pythia8_
If you have installed pythia8 with the MG5aMC installer, you can then typically simply do:
./get_pythia8_
In my case, I simply get:
> ./get_pythia8_
8.219
Hopefully it will crash in an instructive manner on your setup. Let me know.

Hi Valentin,
Apologies for the slow reply. I should have mentioned yesterday that yes, get_pythia8_version does return the correct PY8 version when pointing to the correct directory. Specifically, I get the following:
MG5_aMC_
8.219
Let me know if there is anything else you want to know.

So when you say "pointing to the correct directory" you mean that before it (supposedly) was not?
Could you then try to print which directory it uses in your case? Because I cannot reproduce this unfortunately.
You can edit the script get_pythia8_
Keep in mind however that by default MG5_aMC by default overwrites your HEPToolsInstallers suite with the online version whenever you issue an 'install' command.
So you must circumvent this to add print statements to debug the installation.
You can do so by copying your directory <...>/HEPTools/
You can then edit the files in the directory '<MG5_installat
MG5_aMC> install pythia8 --keep_source --local
PLease let me know.

I copied "HEPToolsInstal

CXXCOMMON="'-ldl -lstdc++ -DHEPMC2HACK -fPIC'"
PY8 was then installed successfully via the commands:

Interestingly, the mg-py8 interface also compiled successfully with the following:

As a quick check, the following ran without a problem at LO+PY8 accuracy:

Hi Valentin,
Yes, this appears to be the case.
In fact, I just deleted and re-untarred my beta2 release, installed HEPMC, copied HEPToolsInstaller to the parent directory of MG, and modified the CXXCOMMON flags in installPYTHIA8.sh as stated above. With this, I was able to successfully install PY8 + the interface. See below for details. After, the following LO+PY8 process ran successfully:

I had installed hepmc, lhapdf6 in MG5 and they installed fine. As for the manual installation of pythia8, that also works. I took your advise above.
Can you please advise me with what might be going on. I can provide you with more details if you want.
One more thing: I am now trying it with MG5 2.5.2. Previously, I had used 2.5.1 and the installations were fine there.
Thanks a lot for your help.

There is an issue with recent compilers and HepMC which can be fixed by
changing all occurrences of
ptrdiff_t
into
std::ptrdiff_t
in the two includes:
/home/shankha/
/home/shankha/
I have to better understand the origin of this problem and check whether it
is safe to always do this. If it is, then I'll apply this replacement by
default in the MG5_aMC install command.

Actually, The proper solution was to swap the order of the following two includes in the Pythia8 MG5_aMC interface driver:
#include "Pythia8/Pythia.h"
#include "Pythia8Plugins
to
#include "Pythia8Plugins
#include "Pythia8/Pythia.h"
I did this in the new version of the interface that is hosted on the MG5_aMC server and now the installation should happen flawlessly.

Dear Valentin,
Thank you so much for the help. Now everything compiles and pythia 8 gets installed. I have made the changes in the hepmc files as you had written and I also swapped the order of the two header files here:
~/MG5_aMC_
Then again, I typed:
mg5_aMC>install pythia8
Now, pythia8 got installed. However, I just saw that there are some error messages (mostly FASTJET3 related) which still does not affect the installation. The errors are these:
=======
Error: main46 requires PROMC
Error: main71 requires FASTJET3
Error: main72 requires FASTJET3
Error: main81 requires FASTJET3 and HEPMC2
Error: main82 requires FASTJET3 and HEPMC2
Error: main83 requires FASTJET3 and HEPMC2
Error: main84 requires FASTJET3 and HEPMC2
Error: main91 requires ROOT
export LD_LIBRARY_

Error: cannot open file "gnu/stubs.h" /usr/include/
Error: cannot open file "bits/dlfcn.h" /usr/include/
Error: Symbol Dl_info is not defined in current scope /usr/include/
Error: Missing whitespace at or after line 189.
Error: Unexpected end of file (G__fgetspace():2) /usr/include/

Warning: Error occurred during dictionary source generation
!!!Removing main92Dct.cc main92Dct.h !!!
Error: rootcint: error loading headers...
make: *** [main92Dct.cc] Error 1
=======
The showering works though. I tried it on a simple process. I am however unable to install FASTJET3 using the install command. I hope this is okay.
Thank you very much for your help.
Cheers,
Shankha.

Yes, this is just "errors" which aren't errors and simply come from the automated compilation of the example drivers which are skipped because of missing optional resources.
We do not have an install command for fastjet (and I'm reluctant to add any more automatic installation given how much support these require), so I am afraid that you will have to sort this one out directly with FastJet's authors.
