The test_suite problems require a few tweaks to be used "outside" the
test_suite directory.  You need to 


Edit make/makefile and delete

  include ../../test_suite_makefile_prefix


Edit the inlist files (so in this case inlist_wd_{1,2,3,4}) and delete

  read_extra_star_job_inlist1 = .true.
  extra_star_job_inlist1_name = '../inlist_test_suite'


You may also need to adjust the path to any initial models.


There are scripts to automate this process, for example Bill Wolf's
mesa_cli.

Hope that helps,
