[Mesa-users] Segmentation fault error when running someone's inlists

[Warrick Ball]

Hi Chris,

I'm not sure this is quite enough to reproduce the problem.  In what order 
do you run the inlists that you've sent? i.e. what's in `inlist` when you 
have a problem?  Can you run an empty `star/work` folder without a 
problem?

I notice that all the inlists have the line

```
       mesa_dir = '/Users/yami/surfdrive/mesa-r10398'
```

in `&star_job`.  Is this a valid location on your drive?  Standard 
practice AFAIK is to set the $MESA_DIR environment variable rather than 
setting it in the inlist.  Try commenting out this line in each of the 
inlists.

FWIW, the last line in the error trace is an I/O line:

```
$ sed -n '383p' ~/mesa/10398/star/private/history.f90
          if (open_close_log) close(io)
```

Also, it's better to copy text output into your email rather than 
attaching a screenshot.

Cheers,
Warrick
