Pythia8 from MadGraph: Pythia8::LHAPDF error

Asked by Antonio Costantini

Dear Olivier,

I'm having a problem a using Pythia8 from MadGraph. In particular
after trying to make the main file produced by MadGraph I got the
following error

~/MG5_aMC_v2_6_3_2/HEPTools/pythia8/examples$ make -f /home/antonio/MG5_aMC_v2_6_3_2/HEPTools/pythia8/examples/Makefile_sm_1

Here I put the libs/config of Pythia

./pythia8-config --libs
-L/home/antonio/MG5_aMC_v2_6_3_2/HEPTools/pythia8//lib -lpythia8 -L/home/antonio/MG5_aMC_v2_6_3_2/HEPTools/boost/lib -lboost_iostreams -L/home/antonio/MG5_aMC_v2_6_3_2/HEPTools/zlib/lib -lz -ldl

./pythia8-config --config

Do You have any suggestion to fix this issue?

Thanks in advance

Antonio

Hi,

What you need to do is to edit the file
 /home/antonio/MG5_aMC_v2_6_3_2/HEPTools/pythia8/examples/Makefile_sm_1
in order to add all the dependencies that you need, so add -ldl in that program.

Cheers,

Olivier
