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.
