[Rivet] Ynt: Ynt: I can't install rivet on my ubuntu 16

[Holger Schulz]

Hi Cem,


thanks for the attachment.


You need to set the installation target to a directory you have write
permissions to.
By default (i.e. just running ./configure) the target will be
/usr/local, i.e. the system
directory to which only the super user has write access to.


In your case you could do:

    ./configure --prefix=$PWD/local
    make install

That would copy the libraries in the folder

    /home/cem/mysoftware/YODA-1.7.0/local

In the Rivet install step you will have to tell the configure script
where to find the YODA libraries,
to give you an example, this is what my rivet configure looks like:


    ./configure
    *--prefix*=/global/homes/h/hschulz/scratch/HEP-intel-knl/local
    *--with-yoda*=/global/homes/h/hschulz/scratch/HEP-intel-knl/local*--with-hepmc*=/global/homes/h/hschulz/scratch/HEP-intel-knl/local
    *--with-fastjet*=/global/homes/h/hschulz/scratch/HEP-intel-knl/local

As you can see all packages have been installed in the same directory.
The rivet-bootstrap script will do these things automatically for you,
so you probably want to give that a try.


Hope that helps,
Holger
