Hi all, I would like to notify a few issues I met when trying to install the hps software following the new prescriptions given on the updated confluence page. I apologize if they could again sound trivial to most of you, but as a beginner unfortunately I am still somehow confused. My install is on linux, 64 bits (slc6 and kubuntu). Probably they are not even issues, but I cannot judge. I had previously installed everyting under cvs and all was more or less working, then I scratched everything as suggested by Jeremy and restart afresh. My doubts: 1) I checked out the hps trunk, compiled following the instructions. I assumed this procedure could do everything... but I feel I miss some parts. For instance, lcsim. How do I know it was correctly compiled? Where is the executable supposed to be placed? I just can find some source files, but if I look to some lcsim classes (like org.lcsim.hps.examples, to start looking at some data), I cannot find them. Do I have to install each package anc compile it separately, instead of downloading the full trunk, as I did in the cvs case? 2) next step: the "distribution" part is suggested to be checked out, and compiled. But, isn't it included in the trunk stuff I just downloaded? Do really I need a new one? (I doubt so, but I am confused) 3) I tried to download a few data files for some tests, but I cannot find them anywhere (for instance, a few signal event files, even if I search for them on the slac cluster... the directory hps/mgraham/DarkPhoton/SignalEvents/... doesn't seem to be existing anymore). Can they be made available again, or can you suggest a new location where to get them? I also have a few issues with eclipse (so I am not able to follow the new instructions on the confluence page), but I think they are still related to my own installation, so before alerting I need to check better and spend more time (hopefully, not much) on it. Thanks a lot for your help! And great holidays to everybody!
