Question

Dear experts,

I am using the MA5 installed in MG5@aMCNLO 3_5_0 version in MAC OS Big Sur 11.7.3 Intel Core i7 .

Proposed changes in the MA5 launchpad to fix this issue are present in madgraph/interface/common_run_interface.py

Nevertheless, I am still receiving the error msg "MadAnalysis5 failed to
produce the reconstructed event file for reconstruction 'BasicReco'."

additional information: although the input file is there

May I kindly ask for your help? Thank you

Hi @prebello first of all we need a bit more information such as the version of ma5 that you are using etc. have you installed zlib? when you run ma5 you should see the following.

MA5:      - Zlib                     [OK]

In which mode are you running ma5? when you type display main it will tell you which type of files can be processed.

hi @jackaraz, thank you for your prompt reply

the version https://github.com/MadAnalysis/madanalysis5/archive/refs/tags/v1.10.9_beta.tar.gz

in madanalysis5_install.log
MA5: - Zlib [OK]

Hi @prebello, I don't see any problem in your script or ma5 configuration. I don't really know what is going wrong, I'm afraid; @BFuks do you see anything that I might be missing?

BFuks commented

I don't see what is wrong with the syntax. As this message is 4 months old, maybe it would be good to retry first with a more recent version of the code. @prebello?

Cheers,

Benj
