mesa-users] problem with running MESA

[Marcin @ astrophysics]

Hi Miroslav,

I haven't seen such an error message before. Maybe someone else could 
help you with it.

However your Fedora 8 seems to be slightly old OS.
I use Fedora 10 with ifort 11 and latest official mesa release compiles 
and runs with no errors, so far.
If it's possible, please try Fedora 10.

Best regards

Marcin Mackiewicz
