generation of JPG of diagramns

Asked by Roberto Franceschini

It is probably the smallest issue, but I was wondering if I can do something about the failure to generate JPG diagrams

```
INFO: Generate jpeg diagrams
GPL Ghostscript 9.07: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1
GPL Ghostscript 9.07: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1
cp: cannot stat ‘card.jpg’: No such file or directory
```
I have launched mg5_aMC --debug but it does not say more than the above error. Anywhere I can look to debug this issue?

Thanks
Roberto

Hi,

It means that "gs" program is not correctly setup on your machine.
You should try to update it.

Cheers,

Olivier

Thanks for the prompt message.

MG5_aMC_v2_6_0>gs

is this too old?

in any case
   gs -sDEVICE=jpeg -o out-%d.jpg ./ReweightTest/rw_me/SubProcesses/P1_ddx_epem/matrix.ps
works as expected. Any log I can read and understand better?

You can edit line 29 of
Template/LO/bin/internal/gen_jpeg-pl

in order to have more log and some hint of the issue.

Cheers,

Olivier
