ERROR IN FRITZ - MODULE: PythiaHandler '<any test>'

Good day :)

I am a newbie.

When I try to execute command code:

./CheckMATE -n example -mgcommand="import model MSSM_SLHA2; generate p p > go go;" -maxev 500 -slha=example_run_cards/auxiliary/testspectrum.slha -wp8

I keep getting:

**|-> PythiaHandler 'process': Initializing Pythia8 with /home/jeremiah/cm/checkmate/results/example/pythia/process_showercard.in
ERROR IN FRITZ - MODULE: PythiaHandler 'process'
MESSAGE: could not read /home/jeremiah/cm/checkmate/results/example/pythia/process_showercard.in
-----> IMMEDIATE ABORT!

!!! ERROR !!!
Fritz returned with error. Check logfiles in result folder for more information!
Exiting.**

It's the same PythiaHandler Process error when using other test such as:

./CheckMATE 13tev_test.in

For details here are the versions of my programs:

mg5amcatnlo - version 3.5.0
pythia - version 8245
hepmc - 2.06.11
delphes - 3.5.0
precompiled root - 6.22.08.Linux-...

Thanks :)))

Hello.

Fortunately, I have already solved this by commenting the former Pythia I downloaded before (commenting out from the bashrc). I suspect that the then-Pythia version overlaps the new one causing the error I raised above.

Thanksssss :)
