[mesa-users] Problems with MESA_DIR variable

Mon Mar 2 11:40:55 EST 2015

I recently ran into an issue when using a recent version of MESA that the
test_suite problems now include the line

include ../../test_suite_makefile_prefix

in the make/makefile. The sole effect of this source is to set

MESA_DIR = ../../../..

So I needed to comment out the reference to this include to get things
working as expected when you copy a problem outside the MESA hierarchy.
