Problem MG5 on macOS Catalina

Asked by Pim Verschuuren

Dear experts,
I have a problem running MG5 since I updated to macOS Catalina (v.10.15.6). I have tried a simple sample generation with v2.6.7, v2.8.0 and v3.0.3 where I got the same error.

After running ./bin/mg5_aMC I only called generate p p > t t~ which after launch produces the following error:

INFO: Update the dependent parameter of the param_card.dat
Generating 10000 events with run name run_01
survey run_01
INFO: compile directory

I would advise to uninstall gcc from homebrew and install it from
http://hpc.sourceforge.net/
((just gfortran not gcc)

Otherwise this link might help you: https://github.com/Homebrew/legacy-homebrew/issues/45011

Cheers,

Olivier
