[SiewYan]

Looks like the shared libraries could not link to the static libraries... there are changes on the MCFM linkage in the latest sherpa version [1].

[GurpreetSinghChahal]

@SiewYan Thank you! This issue has been discussed with Sherpa authors and the suggestion is compile/integrate this release without MCFM. There are a few issues under investigation for MCFM that could be solved in a few weeks time scale. We can use OpenLopps/blackhat for some processes instead of MCFM.

[SiewYan]

@GurpreetSinghChahal , i will disable mcfm for this sherpa version. Thanks for the clarification!
