Pythia version mismatch

Probably better if you contact Pythia8 author about it.
Especially since I'm not working this week.

Cheers,

I think this is probably specific to how MadGraph installs / calls Pythia.

I'm not working tomorrow or most of next week either, so a slow response is fine.

Hi,

I do not reproduce your error.
I have tried both on mac and on SLC6.

Now my guess from the warning is that you have a problem with your LD_LIBRARY_PATH
or something like that and that the library does not match something else. But if this is true this will be a problem of your specific machine. Pythia8 author might be able to give you a more accurate description of the issue and maybe idea on how to solve this.

In principle, when you install pythia8, we suggest that you add some line in your .bashrc.
Did you do this?

Cheers,

Olivier

I don't remember any such line for .bashrc, how should it read?

Thanks.

Solved, for future reference:

set PYTHIA8DATA to MG5_dir/HEPTools/pythia8/share/Pythia8/xmldoc
