Hello.

I am running version 2.6.5 out of the box on a mac Mohave 10.14.5. I do
generate p p > w+
output w2
launch
0
0 (or "done", or "enter", not clear what the difference is)
and I get

Error detected in "generate_events run_01"
write debug file /Users/Abi/cernbox/Work/pheno/Madgraph/sandbox/w2/run_01_tag_1_debug.log

Not clear to me what the error is, but there is indeed no file crt1.o.
What should I do?

Thanks,
Abi

Hmmm,. At that link it says to do

  xcode-select --install

when I do that I get

  xcode-select: error: command line tools are already installed, use "Software Update" to install updates

and when I do

  softwareupdate --list

It says

  Software Update Tool

  Finding available software
  No new software available.

So maybe this isn't the problem.

This link:
http://www2.lowell.edu/users/massey/Macsoftware.html

seems to claim that the following command can solve the issue:
sudo ln -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/lib/crt1.o /usr/lib/crt1.o

I'm also on 10.14.5.
I have the file
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/lib/crt1.o
on my machine and did not need to put a symlink...

But OSX has the idea to behave differently on new mac compare to people updating from one version to next. Making the notion of version quite weird...

I don't have /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/lib/crt1.o and also get permission denied when I try to sudo ln -s into /usr/lib/ . If you have ideas, that's great. But I really don't want to take your time solving basic mac problems...

Thanks,

OK, updating gfortran at https://github.com/fxcoudert/gfortran-for-macOS/releases seems to have fixed my problem.

Thanks,
