SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the installation of the TMDlib package version 2.2.10, where the user encountered an error while running the TMDlib_Fortran.F example. The error indicates that the expected .info file is missing from the specified path. The solution involves ensuring the correct file naming convention, specifically that the file should be named ccfm-JH-2013-set1.info, and possibly modifying the Fortran code or providing the correct command line argument to resolve the issue.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with TMDlib package installation procedures
  • Basic understanding of Fortran programming
  • Knowledge of command line operations in a Unix-like environment
  • Experience with PDF set management in particle physics
NEXT STEPS
  • Review the TMDlib documentation for installation troubleshooting
  • Learn how to modify Fortran code to handle file paths
  • Explore command line argument passing in Fortran programs
  • Investigate the structure and naming conventions of PDF sets in TMDlib
USEFUL FOR

Developers and researchers working with TMDlib, particularly those involved in particle physics simulations and needing to manage PDF sets effectively.

TL;DR
The conversation discusses the installation and use of the TMDlib source package from http://tmdlib.hepforge.org/.
I'm trying to install the TMDlib package (v.2.2.10). I followed the instructions from the README file:

./configure --prefix=/home/alexey/Software/TMDLIB --with-lhapdf=/home/alexey/Software/LHAPDF
make
make install

Next, I installed one of the PDF sets:

./TMDlib-getdata ccfm-JH-2013-set1

Everything was going well, but when I run the TMDlib_Fortran.F example I get an error

TMDinfo: file does not exist /home/alexey/Software/TMDLIB/share/tmdlib//.info
return on EXIT_FAILURE

Has anyone encountered a similar error?
Best regards!

I'm not surprised that file does not exist, it should be looking for something like ccfm-JH-2013-set1.info in whatever path you have downloaded it into. You probably need to edit something in the example Fortran code, or pass it a command line argument.

Reading the fine manual might be a good idea at this point.
