Hi Andy, my bad this seems to be a different issue than the one I was thinking about. You are actually not using lhapdf but using the default PDF set. Could you run the following two commands: ls /Users/andypark/Desktop/Research/MG5_aMC_v2_6_4/MY_FIRST_MG5_RUN//lib/Pdfdata/ and ls /Users/andypark/Desktop/Research/MG5_aMC_v2_6_4/Template/LO/lib/Pdfdata/ In my case, I have the following file: [2.6.4]$ ls Template/LO/lib/Pdfdata/ NNPDF23_lo_as_0119_qed_mem0.grid cteq6l.tbl NNPDF23_lo_as_0130_qed_mem0.grid cteq6l1.tbl NNPDF23nlo_as_0119_qed_mem0.grid cteq6m.tbl cteq5l.tbl mrsb.dat cteq5m.tbl mrse.dat cteq6d.tbl mrst2002nlo.dat Which include the file that is reported missing in your case. If the file is missing, you can add those manually (but it might be interesting to understand why they went missing). If they are there I would need to look how that part of the code search for that file. It might be related to some environment variable which are set in your case to a wrong path.
