[Mesa-users] Can't get astero module to work outside test_suite

[TUCHOW, NOAH WOLFE]

I managed to get it to work. I neglected to look at the primary inlist and instead looked in inlist3. In 'inlist' there was a line setting mesa_dir='../../..', so I just commented it out.

Hello,

I've been having a problem getting the astero module to work outside of the MESA test suite directory. I copied the example_astero folder and put it somewhere else on my computer so that I could modify it and play around with changing the parameters. However, while the example seems to work when I run it in the test_suite directory, it won't run in the new directory. I looked at the makefile for the example and saw that it contained a relative path for MESA_DIR, and I deleted that line because MESA_DIR is already defined as my system mesa directory. Now the makefile just contains the line "include $(MESA_DIR)/star/astero/makefile"

However, this doesn't appear to resolve the issue. When I make the example, I get the warning:
/data/nxt5109/mesa-r10398/star/astero/src/gyre_support.f:171:0:

        filename = TRIM(fgong_prefix)//TRIM(num_string(s%model_number))//TRIM(fgong_postfix)

Warning: '.filename' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]

Running the example anyways gives the following error:

 read inlist_astero_search_controls
 open failed for ../../../data/version_number
 please check that mesa_dir is set correctly
 failed in stardata_init
 star_init ierr           2

Is there some other file with a relative path that I need to change? How can I modify this example to get it to work outside the test suite? Have other people been able to get the astero module to work outside of the mesa test_suite or astero/work directories?

I'm using MESA r-10398 on CentOS linux.

Thanks,
