Bug Description

This might well be my mistake somewhere, but I'm having trouble getting past it.

When using the singularity container kindly released by Olivier Mattelaer (found at https://singularity-hub.org/containers/5633) I have trouble running madspin. It seems the program wants to alter the file "/usr/mg5amcnlo/input/mg5_configuration.txt" at run time, but unfortunately the user does not have write permission in this directory. The full debug log is attached.

Is there a way I can move just that file into another directory?

So actually I was over complicating this - it's easiest to just add permissions to the file when the singularity is built; https://singularity-hub.org/containers/14571
