CKKW-L merging, PY8 pearalellization issue.
Dear MG5 team,
I am trying to generate an event sample using CKKW-L merging scheme in MG5(2.7.3) and pythia8.
I am getting the following error message,

! General parameters
! ==================

Main:numberOfEvents = -1
!
! -------
! Specify the HEPMC output of the Pythia8 shower. You can set it to:
! auto : MG5aMC will automatically place it the run_<i> directory
! /dev/null : to turn off the HEPMC output.
! <path> : to select where the HEPMC file must written. It will
! therefore not be placed in the run_<i> directory. The
! specified path, if not absolute, will be relative to
! the Event/run_<i> directory of the process output.
! fifo : to have MG5aMC setup the piping of the PY8 output to
! analysis tools such as MadAnalysis5.
! fifo@<fifo_path> :
! Same as 'fifo', but selecting a custom path to create the
! fifo pipe. (useful to select a mounted drive that supports
! fifo). Note that the fifo file extension *must* be '.hepmc.fifo'.
! -------
!
HEPMCoutput:file = auto
!
! -------
! Parameters relevant only when performing MLM merging, which can be
! turned on by setting ickkw to '1' in the run_card and chosing a
! positive value for the parameter xqcut.
! For details, see section 'Jet Matching' on the left-hand menu of
! http://
! -------
! If equal to -1.0, MadGraph5_aMC@NLO will set it automatically based
! on the parameter 'xqcut' of the run_card.dat
JetMatching:qCut = -1.0
! Use default kt-MLM to match parton level jets to those produced by the
! shower. But the other Shower-kt scheme is available too with this option.
JetMatching:
! A value of -1 means that it is automatically guessed by MadGraph.
! It is however always safer to explicitly set it.
JetMatching:nJetMax = -1
!
! -------
! Parameters relevant only when performing CKKW-L merging, which can
! be turned on by setting the parameter 'ptlund' *or* 'ktdurham' to
! a positive value.
! For details, see section 'CKKW-L Merging' on the left-hand menu of
! http://
! -------
! Central merging scale values you want to be used.
! If equal to -1.0, then MadGraph5_aMC@NLO will set this automatically
! based on the parameter 'ktdurham' of the run_card.dat
Merging:TMS = 40.0
! This must be set manually, according to Pythia8 directives.
! An example of possible value is 'pp>LEPTONS,
! Alternatively, from Pythia v8.223 onwards, the value 'guess' can be
! used to instruct Pythia to guess the hard process. The guess would mean
! that all particles apart from light partons will be considered as a part
! of the hard process. This guess is prone to errors if the desired hard
! process is complicated (i.e. contains light partons). The user should
! then be wary of suspicious error messages in the Pythia log file.
Merging:Process = pp>LEPTONS,
! A value of -1 means that it is automatically guessed by MadGraph.
! It is however always safer to explicitly set it.
Merging:nJetMax = 1
!
! For all merging schemes, decide whehter you want the merging scale
! variation computed for only the central weights or all other
! PDF and scale variation weights as well
SysCalc:
!
! =======
! User customized parameters
! =======
!
! By default, Pythia8 generates multi-parton interaction events. This is
! often irrelevant for phenomenology and very slow. You can turn this
! feature off by uncommenting the line below if so desired.
!partonlevel:mpi = off
=======
Though the MLM scheme is working fine.
Would you kindly look into this matter?
thanks in advance,
