[Rivet] Question about running analysis

Dear Rivet authors,

I’m sorry to bother you about something that seems trivial, but I’ve tried following the directions in the “Instructions for writing a Rivet analysis” and I’ve also checked other parts of the documentation/online tutorials, and nothing seems to work.

I’ve created a new analysis based on the existing MC_GENSTUDY_JET_SUBSTRUCTURE from the Boost 2012 report. As a result, I have a MY_ANALYSIS.cc, .info, and .plot files, and I’ve built the RivetMY_ANALYSIS.so library. However, whenever I try to execute Rivet using a command like:

rivet -a MY_ANALYSIS zp_ttsemi_2TeV.hepmc —pwd

I get the error: ‘MY_ANALYSIS’ is not a valid analysis. Available analyses are:…

The analysis doesn’t appear in the list if I use “rivet —list-analyses —analysis-path=$PWD”, and it also doesn’t work if I explicitly set the RIVET_ANALYSIS_PATH.

If you have any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it!

Thanks,

Brian
