[Mesa-users] MESA failing to read inlist_start

[Meridith Joyce]

it means a typo, probably

make sure the way you are writing your &pgstar section, or indeed any section of inlist_start, follows exactly the same convention as in the other template inlists provided with the MESA test_suite. When you added the extra section, did you accidentally delete the concluding "/" from &controls?

fortran can be quite picky about these things

I get the following line after adding an empty &pgstar section in inlist_start :

Fortran runtime error: namelist not terminated with / or &end

What does that mean?

This line indicates where you should start to look for your problem:

Failed while trying to read control namelist file: inlist_start

and this line suggests something is blank that shouldn't be:
Fortran runtime error: End of file

in the &pgstar section of  inlist and inlist_start_header, you point to inlist_start, but it does not seem like you have any &pgstar controls specified in inlist_start.
Yet you set pgstar_flag = .true. in &star_job of inlist_start

As a start, you can try adding an empty &pgstar section in inlist_start:
&pgstar
/ ! end pgstar

and see what happens

Hi, here are the lines preceding the error:

Failed while trying to read control namelist file: inlist_start
Perhaps the following runtime error message will help you find the problem.

Hi Kim,

In the past when I have received errors like this, it is typically because I have failed to point to the correct inlist(s) or model file name somewhere. You may also need to look at your shell scripts (rn, re, etc) to see if they are moving or renaming files in a way you are not anticipating.

Could you please provide several more lines of the terminal output preceeding this error?

Subject: [Mesa-users] MESA failing to read inlist_start

Hi, I am using a Lenovo-V130-15IKB laptop. My operating system is Ubuntu. The version of MESA I am using is r12778 and the version of MESA SDK I am using is x86_64-Linux-20.3.2.

So, I am trying to run the 1M_pre_ms_to_wd model (in the test_suite folder) but I am getting the following error message when I re-run the model:

******************************************************************
failed to create start.mod when running inlist_start_header
******************************************************************

When I ran the model for the first time, the error message did not appear. The message only appeared after I created the inlist_pgstar file, deleted the mesa_dir = '../../..' line in inlist files that have that line, changed inlist2 to inlist1 line in every inlist file, deleted the MESA_DIR = ../../../.. line from the makefile file and changed !mixing_regions <integer> into mixing_regions 40 from the history columns list file.

I have attached the inlist files (in the "working directory" folder).


Kind regards,
Kim.
