[FIXED] `simpleEvtGen` not working with scurt14 #25034
Good day. I'm trying to run `simpleEvtGenRO` with scurt14 #25034 (just in the same way as in this topic: https://forum.gsi.de/index.php?t=tree&th=4281&start=0&) and get the following error: ./simpleEvtGenRO pbarpSystem dspair.dec 10 8.0 -1 ... EvtGen:Main decay file name :DECAY.DEC EvtGen:PDT table file name :evt.pdl EvtGen:In readDecayFile, reading:DECAY.DEC EvtGen:PYCONT is neither a particle name nor the name of a model. EvtGen:It was encountered on line 192 of the decay file. EvtGen:Please fix it. Thank you. EvtGen:Be sure to check that the correct case has been used. EvtGen:Terminating execution. I take the DECAY.DEC and evt.pdl from /pgenerators/EvtGen/EvtGen/Private. I will be very grateful for any help. Best regards, Stanislav

Quote: EvtGen:PYCONT is neither a particle name nor the name of a model. EvtGen:It was encountered on line 192 of the decay file. You did something wrong in your dec file, I suppose you don't have 192 lines...
I just copied the DECAY.DEC (and evt.pdl) from /pgenerators/EvtGen/EvtGen/Private. The dspair.dec I took from topic https://forum.gsi.de/index.php?t=tree&th=4281&start=0& (this is very simple decay rules). Even if I run EvtGen (just from C code) specifying only DECAY.dec I got exactly same error.
Can you please upload here the evt.pdl, the DECAY.DEC and the dspair.dec you are using? Where are you launching your simpleEvtGenRO?
Dear Stefano, here are files that I use. I put these files into the folder `/build/bin/` and run `simpleEvtGen` from this folder.
both commands produce same error (`simpleEvtGen` and `simpleEvtGenRO`).
You are using the wrong DECAY.DEC. You need to take the one in Private folder.
Dear Stefano, thank you very much for your help. I just tried DECAY.DEC from https://subversion.gsi.de/trac/fairroot/browser/pandaroot/trunk/pgenerat ors/EvtGen/EvtGen/Private/DECAY.DEC and it works OK. It differs from those one I have in my Private folder --- probably I've changed it accidentally. Now everything work.
