Cannot Find Delphes Header

[wrishik]

Hi CheckMATE team,

I have been trying to install CheckMATE for 2 days, and I am running into the same issue all the time. Here's the error message I get:

........
checking for Delphes location... ../Delphes/
checking for classes/DelphesClasses.h... no
configure: error: Cannot find DelphesClasses header
........

I have checked my Delphes installation, and indeed there is a the DelphesClasses.h header file in that specified location and smh CheckMATE cannot identify it. I am installing the latest version, i.e., 'checkmate2'. I would be really grateful if you could help me in this matter.

Thanking you.
Kind regards,
Wrishik.

Hi there,

I am facing the same issue with the latest Checkmate version cloned from the master branch. I am running Mac Ventura 13.3.1 and I compiled the latest version of Delphes 3.5.0. Delphes compiled fine and I can run the examples, and in the install directory the header DelphesClasses.h is located in include/classes. However, when passing the Delphes-3.5.0 installation path to CheckMATE with

./configure --with-delphes=/Users/foldenauer/local/opt/Delphes-3.5.0/install

I get the same error:

checking for Delphes location... /Users/foldenauer/local/opt/Delphes-3.5.0/install
checking for classes/DelphesClasses.h... no
configure: error: Cannot find DelphesClasses header

Any insight on why the configure script can't seem to find the header would be much appreciated.

Cheers,
Patrick

PS: I also tried to pass the Delphes-3.5.0 directory directly, or to copy the 'classes' directory with the header file directly into the 'include' directory. None of this seemed to have any effect.
