Hello All,

In trying to reproduce some interesting differences in track reconstruction efficiencies over time pointed out by Alessandra this morning, I downloaded some earlier production jar files from nexus and tried to run the reconstruction. I encountered the following error when running the 3.9 jar file:

> java -cp hps-distribution-3.9-bin.jar org.hps.evio.EvioToLcio -x EngineeringRun2015FullRecon.lcsim -d HPS-EngRun2015-Nominal-v5-0-fieldmap -D outputFile=tst hps_005772.evio.0

...

Running the same command using the hps-distribution-4.0-bin.jar file (also fetched from nexus) runs to completion.

Any suggestions on what I might have done wrong or forgotten to do would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Norman
