It suddenly appears whenever I try to launch any process in MG5.
Automatic updating is the only thing I can think of as the cause of it, as it's the only thing that happened since the time it worked without errors.

Thank you so much in advance,
Yael

Hi,

Looks like that the auto-update failed to apply one change on some machine.
You can replace the file

Template/LO/Source/make_opts
by the file in attachment and this should solve your problem.

Thanks for reporting,

Olivier
