Issue while showering NLO events with NLO

[rash-eng]

I tried to shower events for the NLO process p p > t t~ [QCD].
But I am getting the following error.

Does anyone know what could be happening?
Thanks

I am experiencing the same issues when simply compiling pythia with HepMC2 and including in a main.

Have you perhaps been able to solve it?

Hi aMC@NLO team, same problem here! Pythia8 showering works just fine when I do LO generation using the same model files.

Hii, The issue was solved for me. The problem was not with linking of pythia8 with Hepmc, the actual issue was the path in the shower card as: *EXTRAPATHS = ../lib /home/shilpa/dellnewlaptop/Projects/MG5_aMC_v3_5_4/HEPTools/hepmc/lib /home/shilpa/dellnewlaptop/Projects/MG5_aMC_v3_5_4/HEPTools/pythia8/lib l,-rpath,/home/shilpa/dellnewlaptop/Projects/MG5_aMC_v3_5_4/HEPTools/pythia8/lib /home/shilpa/dellnewlaptop/Projects/MG5_aMC_v3_5_4/HEPTools/zlib/lib l,-rpath,/home/shilpa/dellnewlaptop/Projects/MG5_aMC_v3_5_4/HEPTools/zlib/lib # Path to the extra-libraries* You can check if it works for you as well. Thanks Shilpa Jangid APCTP Researcher

Thanks for the tip Shilpa, but I do have all the extrapaths set, but still pythia8 doesn't compile in with aMCaNLO :*
