[Mesa-users] Failure in loading a model in MESA-Docker

[Evan Bauer]

Hi Nick,

This looks like a pretty standard MESA question; I don’t think the MESA-Docker interface is part of the problem once you’ve gotten to this stage.

Anyway, it looks like the error messages indicate that there’s a problem reading the inlist_load file. It might be this line:
> / !end of star_job namelist

Sometimes there can be problems reading lines where the comment character isn’t separated from what follows with a space. If that doesn’t solve it, can you try copying and pasting the entire contents of inlist_load directly from the site and see if the problem persists?

Cheers,
Evan

I did save a model named 15M_at_TAMS.mod and then created a file named inlist_load that is the same as the one on the "getting started" page:
