[Mesa-users] Installation r11701 getting stuck on kap data

[Warrick Ball]

Hi Jacqueline,

Just wanted to add that the non-reproducibility is probably because in 
trying to decompress `kap_data.tar.xz`, `xz` has created `kap_data.tar`. 
When the build script runs again, `xz` doesn't want to overwrite the 
(unsuccessfully) decompressed file.  I expect deleting 
`$MESA_DIR/kap/kap_data.tar` will allow you to reproduce the first error.

FWIW, everything else in your build setup looks correct so I agree with 
Frank to check things like disk space.  On our University cluster, we only 
get ~20GB in $HOME, which wouldn't be enough for MESA.

Cheers,
Warrick

See below for the error, which I cannot reproduce, and the second error that I can reproduce. I have attached the full build log, which includes the environmental variables.
