[Rivet] problems with RivetGun/Alpgen

[renkel at physics.smu.edu]

Hi Andy,

So what I did was I copied AGILe from lxplus, make clean, configure, 
make all, make install

At make install, the system complained that it can not write to 
/usr/local/. Since I don't access there, I tried to use make install 
exec_prefix=my_directory.

It still wanted /usr/local/, so I just copied all the libraries by hand.

Now when I start like that:

agile-runmc AlpGenPythia6:420 -P falppyt-default.params -n 100

It works, but asks me about some file. It looks like Pythia does not 
get information from ALPGEN. Here is the output.


     Error type 8 has occured after        0 PYEXEC calls:
     (PYGIVE:) do not recognize variable ALPGEN
1****************** PYINIT: initialization of PYTHIA routines 
*****************
INPUT NAME OF FILE CONTAINING EVENTS
(FOR "file.unw" ENTER "file")
list in: end of file
apparent state: unit 5 (unnamed)
last format: list io
lately reading sequential formatted external IO

What can I do here please?

Peter.

PS. D0 does not have SVN
