MCWrapper sqlite error

[Edmundo Barriga]

Hello,

I have been trying to run MCWrapper on JLab computers ( in the interactive session and in a container). The program crashes because "no_sqlite" was found. Has anyone come across this error?

I tried using the group software version, including the newest version.xml file. In the command output, I can see the line "no_sqlite" twice. After this, the program exits. My MC.config file can be found here:
/w/halld-scshelf2101/home/ebarriga/MC_local/test/newMC.config
and the command I used to run locally is:
$MCWRAPPER_CENTRAL/gluex_MC.py newMC.config 40865 1000 geant=0
Below is the command that MCWrapper printed before it exited.

When did you encounter this error?

Everything went down Tuesday and only was “fully” recovered on Friday. This included many of the systems responsible for fetching required files

If you are getting it “now” we (in scientific computing) may need to look into things if no help can be found in this place

Let me know

I tried today and on Friday, close to 6 pm

Dene was able to find the bug, which comes from not properly reading the RCDB version:

"
The real problem is probably line 310 where it runs
@ RCDBVERSION=`echo $RCDB_VERSION | cut -c3-4`

 In the prior version set, the RCDB version was:
0.09.01
but in the latest, it has been bumped to
2.4.0
When you run cut -c3-4 on the first one, you get 09 , but the second one gives you 4.  (with the period) "

Here is the open GitHub Issue: https://github.com/JeffersonLab/gluex_MCwrapper/issues/170
