A compilation Error occurs when trying to compile /home/raseeb/MG5_aMC_v2_9_6/Test_S3M/Source.

HI,
did you see any error at the end of the output command?
Do
Source/timing_variables.inc
and Source/PDF/timing_variables.inc
exist and are valid file?
Thanks,

Marco

Hi,

Both of the files do not exist.

best regard,
raseeb

Do you have any disk-quota issue?
can you try to do generate/output again and see how the output command ends?

Marco

Hi,

I got this folder from someone else, they do not have a disk quota issue. I
also belive there were no errors while output. There is a
timinh_variable.inc file in the Subprocess folder.

best regards,
Raseeb

ok, then symlink that file in Source and Source/PDF
Marcos-MacBook-Pro-5:Source marcozaro$ ls -ltr timing_variables.inc */timing_variables.inc
lrwxr-xr-x 1 marcozaro staff 36 Oct 13 11:04 timing_variables.inc -> ../SubProcesses/timing_variables.inc
lrwxr-xr-x 1 marcozaro staff 23 Oct 13 11:04 PDF/timing_variables.inc -> ../timing_variables.inc

and have a go… in any case, it may be that the folder is somehow corrupted, let me know

I have copied the file in both directories and run the command. Now launching gives this error->

Hi,
you cannot copy directories unless you have generated them with “output_dependencies = internal”
Otherwise the directory cannot “live” outside the MG5_aMC folder

Best,

Marco

Hi,

I have one thing to clear up. Does the "output_dependencies = internal" command have to be used right before the output command?

Best,
Raseeb

yes, this is correct

Hi,

Using the command "output_dependencies = internal" right before using the "output" command yields the following:-

MG5_aMC>output_dependencies = internal

Command "output_dependencies" not recognized, please try again

Best,
Raseeb

> MG5_aMC>set output_dependencies = internal

cheers,

Marco

This time the output folder was made using the command "set output_dependencies = internal". But when I use launch this is the terminal:-
