[mesa-users] kap subroutine returns NaNs

Problem solved!

If calling subroutines from the kap module (without running mesa/star), you
need to load the opacity tables by calling the kap_init routine first. Here
is what I used, with default values:

call kap_init('gn93','gn93_co','lowT_fa05_gs98',4.1d0,4.0d0,3.
8d0,.true.,'',info)

Here is a link to this explanation:
