[Mesa-users] Problem while installing MESA on a remote server

[Warrick Ball]

Hi Debasish,

As described on the MESA SDK website [1], it would help if you could post the output of the following commands:

- uname -a
- gfortran -v
- echo $MESASDK_ROOT
- echo $PATH

In particular, I suspect you've set $MESASDK_ROOT to a relative, not absolute path (i.e. starting with /, $HOME, ~ or some other fixed location). E.g. perhaps you entered

     export MESASDK_ROOT=mesasdk

instead of

     export MESASDK_ROOT=~/mesasdk

It might also help to know from which directory you tried to initialise the SDK (presumably with `source $MESASDK_ROOT/bin/mesasdk_init.sh`).

Cheers,
Warrick
