Problem coming when I running madgraph from pythia8

[jaswantsingh]

Hello everyone, please can anyone tell me how to solve this problem

Now generating 10000 events with random seed 1 and granularity 1
Traceback (most recent call last):

Hi,

We would be able to try to help you.
But the first thing that we need to know is what you try to do.
Now I would be that the problem is within the code of pythia8 that handles that case and not in our code but this is just a wild guess corresponding to a similar bug report who turns out related to Py8 remove the directory too fast. (and your error seems related to a missing directory).

My advise would therefore be
1) give us more details on what you do with MG5aMC
2) probably contact PY8 author
3) try to use MG5aMC in standalone (and not via Pythia8)

Cheers,

Olivier
