[Mesa-users] MESA install issues

[Warrick Ball]

Hi Adam,

First, welcome, and thanks for actually providing all the information 
requested for install issues!

The main problem is that the `$MESASDK_ROOT` environment variable doesn't 
point to where you've actually put the MESA SDK.  These lines in the build 
log show that the compiler can't find anything under 
`$MESASDK_ROOT/include`:

     f951: Warning: Nonexistent include directory '/mesasdk/include' [-Wmissing-include-dirs]

>From your `$PATH` variable, it looks like you've tried to load the SDK 
several times in two different places so I'm not sure if you've actually 
installed it to

     /home/adam_passmore/mesasdk

or

     /MESA/mesasdk

>From the `gfortran -v` output, I'd say you've installed it in 
`/home/adam_passmore/mesasdk`.  To be sure, try running `which gfortran`, 
which tells you where the system is finding the `gfortran` executable and 
thus where the SDK has actually ended up.  I expect the output will be

     $ which gfortran
     /home/adam_passmore/mesasdk/bin/gfortran

Assuming I've got the path right, try setting `MESASDK_ROOT` to that path 
with e.g.

     export MESASDK_ROOT=/home/adam_passmore/mesasdk

then going to your top-level MESA directory (e.g. `cd $MESA_DIR`) and 
running `./touch` and `./install`.

More broadly, I suspect that you've gotten confused about paths starting 
from the root folder `/` and those in your own home folder.  You're better 
off with the MESA SDK somewhere under your home folder (as you've 
ultimately done, I think).  If you want to refer to your home folder 
easily on the command line, you can (probably) use the shorthand `~`. i.e. 
I think you've installed the SDK to `~/mesasdk`.

Cheers,
Warrick
