Model path problems (list-directed I/O syntax error)
Hi,
I've been struggling with some strange errors ever since trying to install madgraph on my university's cluster. I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling, installing a newer version of madgraph but I'm still having the same issue. When I try to run madgraph (after installing the latest version of: boost, lhapdf, pythia and madanalysis sucessfully) it seems to start running, even getting to the first 'current estimate of cross-section' but then prints the following:
forrtl: severe (59): list-directed I/O syntax error, unit 25, file /scratch/

rm: cannot remove `results.dat': No such file or directory
ERROR DETECTED
Then it hangs like this until I press ctrl-c multiple times (it tries to run again if I only press it once or twice). I checked ftn26 for the subprocess it was running and I just see a grid of numbers, which I think is what should be there? results.dat is also non-empty,(and indeed, exists!) containing a series of numbers. Both run_01_log.txt and run1_app.log seem to be fine. ME5_debug and MG5_debug are empty.
I have tried both running within a script and running directly from the madgraph interface and I have the same problem. Doing a SM process like p p > Z b b~ , Z > b b~ within the model I am using (2HDMtII_NLO) produces the same effect as BSM processes. This is very confusing as the model works fine on my laptop. I did remove then redownload the model again via the madgraph interface in case it was corrupted somehow, but it didn't fix the problem.
I tried running that same SM process in the SM and I got the same error but more was added onto the end part of the error:
INFO: Idle: 0, Running: 0, Completed: 7 [ 0.072s ]
INFO: Combining runs
Error when reading /scratch/
Command "generate_events run_01" interrupted with error:
ValueError : could not convert string to float:

More information is found in '/scratch/
Please attach this file to your report.
I've double checked that I am running with python2, is there a module I need to load up before running madgraph (since I am running on a cluster)? Python itself seems to be running fine separately.
My colleague asked about this on my behalf a couple of days ago and it was suggested that they run a "input_sg.txt", using madevent, I did this and it produces the same error as before, I can't see any additional hints as to what might be wrong. They also asked for the log.txt file from 'that directory', this file doesn't seem to be generated for me.
Thank-you for reading my very long post, please let me know if you need any further information from me!
