Error in Github version

[Amin-83]

Dear Checkmate developers,

I downloaded the code from Github but it seems that the file Makefile.in is missing. Configure is failing with that error. A file called Makefile.am is present but this does not do the job.
Am I looking for the code in the wrong place?

Thank you,
Amin

Hi Amin,

you have to generate the Makefile.in file.

Could you enter

autoreconf

in the CM main folder and try to run configure again, please?

Cheers,

Jong

Hi Jong,

I mistakenly have been typing autoconf instead of autoreconf.
All fixed now. CheckMate has been installed.

Thank you very much.

Best, Amin

Hi, I have the same problem, but autoreconf ends in error:

tools/analysis/Makefile.am:10: error: Libtool library used but 'LIBTOOL' is undefined
tools/analysis/Makefile.am:10:   The usual way to define 'LIBTOOL' is to add 'LT_INIT'
tools/analysis/Makefile.am:10:   to 'configure.ac' and run 'aclocal' and 'autoconf' again.
tools/analysis/Makefile.am:10:   If 'LT_INIT' is in 'configure.ac', make sure
tools/analysis/Makefile.am:10:   its definition is in aclocal's search path.
autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1

I downgraded automake to v1.16.1, and managed generate the configure file using

autoconf
automake

After this, CheckMATE compiles without errors. However, when running AnalysisManager, I get the same message as above. I also get another error, which seems unrelated:

 Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./AnalysisManager", line 8, in <module>
    reload(sys)
NameError: name 'reload' is not defined 

Any help would be appreciated!

Hi there, you also have to install the libtool package.

Ah! Thanks, I hadn't noticed it was missing. Now things do compile, although I still get the same error with reload. Should I worry?

This seems to be a python2 vs python3 problem. I checked this solution:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/961162/reloading-module-giving-nameerror-name-reload-is-not-defined

I tried modifying AnalysisManager, adding either

from six.moves import reload_module
reload_module(sys)

or

import importlib
importlib.reload(sys)

However, in both cases I get the output:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Collider/checkmate/bin/./AnalysisManager", line 11, in <module>
    import analysismanager_core
  File "/Collider/checkmate/tools/python/analysismanager_core.py", line 16
    print "    "*Printlevel + text
          ^
SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'. Did you mean print("    "*Printlevel + text)?

Unsure if I should be worried about any of these messages, and if I can trust the CheckMATE output.

Mmm, my student made me see that the analyses he designed were not incorporated with neither the "old" nor "new" versions of AnalysisManager.

What do you suggest? Downgrade to python2, and install a python2-friendly version of MadGraph?
