[mesa-users] More basic questions

[Pam Rowden]

Hi Mesa-Users

Some more extremely basic questions!

1. Working through the Sample exercise, I can edit the make/makefile to set MESA_DIR the path to my Mesa directory OK: in the second part, edit src/sample.f to set 'data_dir' to be the path to the mesa data directory, which part of sample.f am I supposed to be changing?

2. In any of the examples, running the "mk" script results in the following:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
pam-rowdens-imac:~ pamrowden$ /Users/pamrowden/Documents/mesa/teststar/mk ; exit;
/Users/pamrowden/Documents/mesa/teststar/mk: line 13: cd: make: No such file or directory
/Users/pamrowden/Documents/mesa/teststar/mk: line 13: make: command not found

FAILED

logout

[Process completed]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, I can see the folder "make" sitting there in each case: how do I get round this problem?

Thank you in advance for any assistance you can give.

Hi Pam,
as you can see in Rich's MESA SDK page http://www.astro.wisc.edu/~townsend/static.php?ref=mesasdk
setting the environmental variables requires a different syntax depending on the type of terminal shell installed on your computer.
The default for most of OS installations is the BASH shell. So the commands that work for you are:

export MESASDK_ROOT=/Applications/mesasdk
source $MESASDK_ROOT/bin/mesasdk_init.sh

Now, as Rich explains to avoid repeating these commands everytime a session is started, you want to add those two lines
to a bash startup file. For example you can edit the file:

~/.bash_profile 

and add those two lines there. 

Cheers,
Matteo
