Comment 4 for bug 1753514

Hi,

So I didn't know the syncing with our servers was so fast, and I thought I
had pushed which what would be just the test branch.
Anyway, I pushed the simply fix (sorry for this silly mistake) and it
should work now.
The fix is simply:

all_lib.append(glob.glob(pjoin(_HepTools[tool]['install_path'],libdir,'*')))
->

all_lib.extend(glob.glob(pjoin(_HepTools[tool]['install_path'],libdir,'*')))

You could test this right away by copying your directory 'HepToolsInstallers'
with the fix above in HEPToolsInstaller.py, one directory above your
madgraph installation.
And then try installing again with the additional option '--local'.

Sorry for this,
