Hi Selma,

Glad to hear you've been brave and downloaded mesa.  
Sorry to hear you're having problems.  But they can be fixed.

The error message is coming from the compiler -- it is somehow finding an old 
version of the star_lib.mod file (that's a file created by the compiler that defines
the data and routines that are available from the file star_lib.f).
The binary_rlo test_suite case gets run every time I change something,
so it isn't an issue of that not being tested in a while.
I'm not very good at figuring out this sort of problem -- perhaps someone
else can suggest something for you to try.   If no one has anything
bright to suggest, I'd suggest you see if one of the other test cases
still works -- e.g., rlo.  If that fails too, you might go back and recompile
mesa from the top -- i.e.
cd mesa
./clean
./mk

BTW: I've been doing some work on the RLO code recently --
I've added an option for implicit selection of mdot so that
R = RocheLobe at end of step.  Seems to work nicely.
If you're interested in giving it a try, it can update to version 4012.
It isn't released yet, but it passed the test_suite last night,
so it isn't too crazy to try it.

Good luck,
Bill
