Problems when installing Ninja

Asked by Zhi-Xiang Yang

When I open the mg5_aMC, I saw a message showing as follows:

 “/drives/C/Users/user/Desktop/MG5/HEPTools/lib does not seem to correspond to a valid ninja lib. Please enter the full PATH/TO/ninja/lib.
You will NOT be able to run ninja otherwise”.

And I tried to download ninja again, but some errors happened,

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lavh_olo: No such file or directory
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [Makefile:627: libninja.la] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/zxiang/Documents/MG5/HEPTools/ninja/Ninja/src'
make[1]: *** [Makefile:810: install-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/zxiang/Documents/MG5/HEPTools/ninja/Ninja/src'
make: *** [Makefile:426: install-recursive] Error 1

I followed the suggestion here, https://answers.launchpad.net/mg5amcnlo/+question/406744, which met a similar problem, and got as follows:

Hi,

Note first that ninja is an optional dependency, so it is fine to not have it installed in your machine. (code might be slower due to that but that's it).

So the issue seems to be in the oneloop dependency of ninja.
Can you show the log file for oneloop installation the file should be
/home/zxiang/Documents/MG5/HEPTools/oneloop/oneloop_install.log

If you change compiler, you can force the re-installation of the module via
install oneloop

Cheers,

Olivier

So this seems working.
Did you have the previously missing file in the lib directory of HepTools?
Did ninja compiles correctly?

Cheers,

Olivier

I also downloaded zlib, boost, lhpdf6, pythin8, and collier. All of them were downloaded successfully. I tried to re-install ninja, but it failed.

By the way, I tried the same things in 2.9.X LTS, as well as downloading ninja, everything worked well, so I think maybe there are some compatibility problems or bugs for my ubuntu.

If it workded with 2.9.X then you can just link the ninja of 2.9.X within 3.X.
I'm just puzzled why it work for one and not the other, this is the same installation script

Right, it also puzzled me. They should be the same.

I'll try, thank you very much!
