[Daniel Martinez-Arias]

Hi!
I'm a new linux user (Scientific Linux 6.3) and I want to install Delphes, I downloaded it from this page, and followed the steps described on Documentation

me@mylaptop:~$ wget ​http://www.fynu.ucl.ac.be/users/s.ovyn/Delphes/files/Delphes_V_*.*.tar.gz
me@mylaptop:~$ tar -xvf Delphes_V_*.*.tar.gz
me@mylaptop:~$ cd Delphes_V_*.*
me@mylaptop:~$ ./genMakefile.tcl > Makefile

and when I typed make

Generating tmp/Utilities/ExRootAnalysis/src/BlockClassesDict.cc

Error opening tmp/Utilities/ExRootAnalysis/src/BlockClassesDict.cc: Permission denied
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'

what(): CINT: error opening tmp/Utilities/ExRootAnalysis/src/BlockClassesDict.cc

make: * [tmp/Utilities/ExRootAnalysis/src/BlockClassesDict.cc] Aborted

what can I do? Please Help

Hi,

Is root correctly installed on your machine, with a recent version ? Delphes needs it.

BTW, the proper installation procedure is:

To install Delphes:
________________________

1) untar the sources:
  tar -xvf Delphes_V_1.8.tar.gz

2) go to the directory:
  cd Delphes_V_1.8

3) generate the Makefile corresponding to your environment:
  ./configure

4) compile the sources
  make

Cheers,

Jerome

[root@DanielMartinezArias Delphes_V_2.0.3]# make
