Pythia8 not detected when doing showering with contur

Asked by DanningLiu

Dear MadGraph Experts,

I have installed Pythia8 within MadGraph, and the MadGraph version is v3.4.1
And I met some problems when trying to run Pythia8 as showering especially submitting jobs to condor.

The problem is when I run ./bin/mg5_aMC and ./bin/generate_events locally , everything works well and hempc files can be produced smoothly. While when I try to submit jobs to condor, Pythia8 is not detected during the production and it reminds me every time to install Pythia8.

Plus, I also checked the pythia8_path and mg5_pythia8_interface path in /output/Cards/me5_configuration.txt are ./HEPTools/pythia8 and ./HEPTools/MG5aMC_PY8_interface, and use absolute path for Pythia and mg5_pythia8_interface in /input/mg5_configuration.txt as well.

And I'm running contur at the same time.

I think this may be the issue about the interface between contur and Pythia8

Many thanks in advance!

Is locally means on the frontend of the cluster or another computer?

Cheers,

Olivier
