Fresh install compiles but won't run

[Patrick Fox]

I have recently purchased a new Mac laptop. After install root, Madgraph etc I installed Delphes through MadGraph and it installed and compiled. However, if I generate events through MadGraph Delphes fails with "Abort trap: 6". The same thing occurs if I try to run Delphes independently.

The full output of the delphes log is

Please provide more information about your system (OS version, name and version of the C++ compiler, ROOT version and how ROOT was built/installed).

Sorry for lack of info: I have MACOS--Sierra (10.12.5). Here is some output that hopefully answers your questions.

Root was installed through homebrew. Everything else (i.e. MadGraph, pythia, ExRootanalysis, Delphes etc) was installed through the MG frontend. Thanks for the help!

The solution for this problem is to replace char string[4]; with char string[1]; on line 797 in external/tcl/tcl.h. This fix is now in the master branch and in Delphes-3.4.1.tar.gz.
