[Mesa-users] PGPLOT does not work on my new system, no visual output from MESA while running a test suite

[Francis Timmes]

hi bill,

one has to activate pgstar in an inlist. for example, in inlist_start one finds

   !pgstar_flag = .true.

uncomment and do the same for the other inlists where one wants pgstar output.
