Unable to install LHAPDF

Hi,

I'm not a lhapdf expert.
My advise would be to use
./configure --prefix=/home/strider/Documents//MG5_aMC_v3_5_3/HEPTools

If it does not work, then the best is to contact lhapdf authors.

Cheers,

Olivier

Thanks a lot! It worked after removing the space but now the process stops with an error: python not found in system path
I have already added path to python3 as follows:-
export PATH="/usr/bin/python3/bin:$PATH"

alias python=python3
