Makefile:2318: recipe for target 'hepmc2pileup' failed

[Inga Strümke]

I get the following error message quite far into the installation process.

Any help in the matter would be greatly appreciated!

Please provide more details about your setup. What is the Delphes version, what is the ROOT version, how ROOT was installed, what is the OS?

[Inga Strümke]

Thank you for the reply.
Delphes is version 3.4.1, ROOT is 6.12/04 and was built for linuxx8664gcc in Deceber 2017, the OS is Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS.

[Pavel Demin]

Thank you for the details.

Have you built ROOT from the sources or downloaded the pre-built binaries from ​https://root.cern.ch/content/release-61204?

[Inga Strümke]

I have built from the sources

[Pavel Demin]

I have built from the sources

OK. In this case, I suspect that the undefined reference to `TROOT::RegisterModule` error message indicates that something is wrong with the ROOT installation.

I'd suggest to try the binary distribution built by the ROOT developers:

​https://root.cern.ch/download/root_v6.12.04.Linux-ubuntu16-x86_64-gcc5.4.tar.gz

[Inga Strümke]

Hello again
I finally managed to install the most recent Delphes version, but can't really test it. The README-file's test example with Z->ee yields the output pasted below.
Is this due to a faulty installation or something else?
Thanks!

Error in <TList::Clear>: A list is accessing an object (0x34ef750) already deleted (list name = TList)

[Pavel Demin]

This error is already fixed in our git repository. Here is a link to the fix:
​https://github.com/delphes/delphes/commit/2fedc726ee59739a21376817ca09ac05849e2f12

Since the error appears after the output file is already written to the disk, it's safe to use Delphes without applying this fix.
