mesa-users] problem with running MESA

Dear MESA users,

  I have a problem with running the latest version of
MESA compiled by ifort (version 11) compiler on my machine which has
the Intel I7 processor and runs Fedora 8. After
instalation (which went ok), I tried to run the default
problem in the /mesa/star/test directory by ./rn, but the
code stopped by giving me the following message 
nvar /= s% nvar eval_equ . Could you help me to resolve
the issue? Thanks. Below you'll find the whole text output
which I get until the code stops.

Regards
Miro
