I have been able to install Rivet using both the manual way and the bootstrap script but neither works after installation. I'm relatively new to installing unix based software so I may just have missed something. My last attempt to install Rivet is as follows. First I ran the rivet-boostrap after setting up the compilers as stated on the website -bash-3.2$ export PATH=/afs/<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://cern.ch/sw/lcg/external/swig/1.3.40/x86_64-slc5-gcc43-opt/bin:$PATH">cern.ch/sw/lcg/external/swig/1.3.40/x86_64-slc5-gcc43-opt/bin:$PATH</a> -bash-3.2$ source /afs/<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://cern.ch/sw/lcg/contrib/gcc/4.3/x86_64-slc5-gcc43-opt/setup.sh">cern.ch/sw/lcg/contrib/gcc/4.3/x86_64-slc5-gcc43-opt/setup.sh</a> -bash-3.2$ ./rivet-bootstrap --install-boost --prefix=/afs/<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://hep.man.ac.uk/u/alexschof/Programs/Rivet">hep.man.ac.uk/u/alexschof/Programs/Rivet</a> Getting <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.hepforge.org/archive/rivet/Rivet-1.4.0.tar.gz">http://www.hepforge.org/archive/rivet/Rivet-1.4.0.tar.gz</a> Downloading <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.hepforge.org/archive/rivet/Rivet-1.4.0.tar.gz">http://www.hepforge.org/archive/rivet/Rivet-1.4.0.tar.gz</a> Installing a local copy of Boost Downloading <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://downloads.sourceforge.net/boost/boost_1_44_0.tar.gz?use_mirror=mesh">http://downloads.sourceforge.net/boost/boost_1_44_0.tar.gz?use_mirror=mesh</a> LCG area available: using LCG-built packages Using LCG platform tag = x86_64-slc5-gcc43-opt Configuring in /afs/<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://hep.man.ac.uk/u/alexschof/Programs/InstallFiles/build/Rivet-1.4.0">hep.man.ac.uk/u/alexschof/Programs/InstallFiles/build/Rivet-1.4.0</a>: ./configure --prefix=/afs/<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://hep.man.ac.uk/u/alexschof/Programs/Rivet">hep.man.ac.uk/u/alexschof/Programs/Rivet</a> --with-lcgtag=x86_64-slc5-gcc43-opt --with-hepmc=/afs/<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://cern.ch/sw/lcg/external/HepMC/2.06.03/x86_64-slc5-gcc43-opt">cern.ch/sw/lcg/external/HepMC/2.06.03/x86_64-slc5-gcc43-opt</a> --with-boost=/afs/<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://hep.man.ac.uk/u/alexschof/Programs/Rivet">hep.man.ac.uk/u/alexschof/Programs/Rivet</a> --with-fastjet=/afs/<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://cern.ch/sw/lcg/external/fastjet/2.4.2/x86_64-slc5-gcc43-opt">cern.ch/sw/lcg/external/fastjet/2.4.2/x86_64-slc5-gcc43-opt</a> --disable-pdfmanual --with-gsl=/afs/<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://cern.ch/sw/lcg/external/GSL/1.10/x86_64-slc5-gcc43-opt">cern.ch/sw/lcg/external/GSL/1.10/x86_64-slc5-gcc43-opt</a> --with-gslcblas=/afs/<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://cern.ch/sw/lcg/external/GSL/1.10/x86_64-slc5-gcc43-opt">cern.ch/sw/lcg/external/GSL/1.10/x86_64-slc5-gcc43-opt</a> Building in /afs/<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://hep.man.ac.uk/u/alexschof/Programs/InstallFiles/build/Rivet-1.4.0">hep.man.ac.uk/u/alexschof/Programs/InstallFiles/build/Rivet-1.4.0</a>: make -j2 && make -j2 install All done. Now set some variables in your shell by sourcing, for bash shell: source rivetenv.sh or for csh shell: source rivetenv.csh Rivet seems to have successfully installed, but when I try to run it I receive the following message: -bash-3.2$ source rivetenv.sh -bash-3.2$ rivet rivet requires the 'rivet' Python module No module named rivet -bash-3.2$ rivet -h It seems like i'm able to run the analyses inside Herwig++ since there are no complaints at run time and there is a .aida file generated. However, when I try to convert to a flat data file I receive the error: -bash-3.2$ aida2flat TVT.aida Traceback (most recent call last): File "/afs/<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://hep.man.ac.uk/u/alexschof/Programs/Rivet/bin/aida2flat">hep.man.ac.uk/u/alexschof/Programs/Rivet/bin/aida2flat</a>", line 13, in ? import lighthisto ImportError: No module named lighthisto I got past this by copying lighthisto.py into the bin folder (is there a better way?) which gave me some data files. I now try to run rivet-mkhtml and get -bash-3.2$ rivet-mkhtml Traceback (most recent call last): File "/afs/<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://hep.man.ac.uk/u/alexschof/Programs/Rivet/bin/rivet-mkhtml">hep.man.ac.uk/u/alexschof/Programs/Rivet/bin/rivet-mkhtml</a>", line 19, in ? import rivet ImportError: No module named rivet rivet is broken... exiting Could you point out where i'm going wrong? If you need more information please let me know. </blockquote> Hi Alex, the errors you are reporting are presumably all caused by a not yet or wrongly defined environment variable called PYTHONPATH. It's contents are read by python to find libraries and modules. The required modules are installed to (prefix)/lib/python2.6/site-packages where (prefix) is according to the command line you sent set to "/afs/<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://hep.man.ac.uk/u/alexschof/Programs/Rivet">hep.man.ac.uk/u/alexschof/Programs/Rivet</a>" (your python vesion may differ). So you could do something like this: <blockquote>export PYTHONPATH=/afs/<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://hep.man.ac.uk/u/alexschof/Programs/Rivet">hep.man.ac.uk/u/alexschof/Programs/Rivet</a>/lib/python2.6/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH </blockquote> To see if python finds the packages, open a python shell and try 'import rivet' or 'import lighthisto'. I am pretty positive that the rivet-installation should also provide a setup script called 'rivetenv.sh' which you could look for and use by `source PATH_TO_IT/rivetenv.sh` Hope that helps, Holger <blockquote cite="mid:AANLkTinc-Z1JKxbZ6XtO10LK59pn9f=iQB6zqJ6L7kmN@mail.gmail.com" type="cite"> Thanks, Alex <pre wrap=""> <fieldset class="mimeAttachmentHeader"></fieldset> _______________________________________________ Rivet mailing list <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:Rivet@projects.hepforge.org">Rivet@projects.hepforge.org</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.hepforge.org/lists/listinfo/rivet">http://www.hepforge.org/lists/listinfo/rivet</a></pre> </blockquote> </body> </html>
