Hi,everyone
I'm newbie.And I have intalled and run the Appetizer on mesa-getting
started successfully.Then I go to star/work
and  edit inlist_project to set the 'mesa_dir' parameters, then
./mk
it seems OK
./rn
THe following pop up in terminal:
-----------------------------------
Revision: 4589
Tue Oct 23 10:15:35 EDT 2012
 saved initial &star_job inlist values: star_job_namelist.out
                                         version_number        4589
 read inlist_project


 The terminal output contains the following information

      'step' is the number of steps since the start of the run,
      'lg_dt_yr' is log10 timestep in years,
      'age_yr' is the simulated years since the start run,

      'lg_Dsurf' is log10 surface density (g/cm^3),
      'H_rich' is the remaining mass outside of the hydrogen poor core,
      'H_poor' is the core mass where hydrogen abundance is <= 0.10E-03
      'He_poor' is the core mass where helium abundance is <= 0.10E-03
      'H_cntr' is the center H1 mass fraction,
      'He_cntr' is the center He4 mass fraction,
      'C_cntr' is the center C12 mass fraction,
      'N_cntr' is the center N14 mass fraction,
      'O_cntr' is the center O16 mass fraction,
      'Ne_cntr' is the center Ne20 mass fraction,
      'X_avg' is the star average hydrogen mass fraction,
      'Y_avg' is the star average helium mass fraction,
      'Z_avg' is the star average metallicity,
      'gam_cntr' is the center plasma interaction parameter,
      'eta_cntr' is the center electron degeneracy parameter,
      'pts' is the number of grid points in the current model,
      'iters' is the number of newton iterations for the current step,
      'retry' is the number of step retries required during the run,
      'bckup' is the number of step backups required during the run,
      'dt_limit' is an indication of what limited the timestep.

 All this and more are saved in the LOGS directory during the run.

-------------------------------------
Why I get errors like this? Could anyone help me?

I am using mesa 4589 version.
My linux version info:
Linux version 2.6.18-238.19.1.el5PAE (mockbuild at builder10.centos.org) (gcc
version 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-50)) #1 SMP Fri Jul 15 08:15:44 EDT

Thank you very much!
cheers,
