[Mesa-users] Failure to write kap_data for one user on a system

[Ben Pepper]

Dear Mesa users,

Our group has a shared computer that has MESA version-r15140 installed. For
some reason, one user within our group cannot write some opacity data from
the default cache, particularly when the star begins to burn helium
(regardless of how degenerate the core is) and when it enters the final
cooling track. I have not experienced this problem and others have told me
that they haven't either. An example of the given error is below:

write /home/MESA/15140/mesa/data/kap_data/cache/gs98_co_z0.02_x0.0.bin
 mv failed for './.mesa_temp_cache/kap_cache/gs98_co_z0.02_x0.0.bin'
'/home/MESA/15140/mesa/data/kap_data/cache/gs98_co_z0.02_x0.0.bin' skippin

So far I have tried to create a local cache in the working directory,
compute exact sequences that I know to work and even create a new user for
the student. None of these solutions have worked. Does anyone else have an
idea of how I can fix this particular problem?

Kind regards,

Ben Pepper
