Fail to generate Leading Order of ttbar with showering

Asked by dliu

Hi there,

I was using the following codes to set up my environment to make sure the MadGraph version is 3.5.1 and python version is 3.9.

setupATLAS
lsetup "views LCG_102b_ATLAS_1 x86_64-centos7-gcc12-opt"

After installing pythia 8 and generating p p > t t~, and when I tried to launch it, it gave me these errors.

Please attach this file to your report.

I'm really confused. Did I setup environment wrong? Should I change to another one? Here're some details in the debug.log below
