[Mesa-users] SPAM: Problem installing MESA

[Warrick Ball]

Hi Maddie,

I'm not familiar with Macs but there are a few lines in the `build.log` that look suspicious.  The log says that `$MESA_DIR` has been set to

     /Users/maddieloupien/Desktop/mesa

but the modules are being built in locations like

     /Users/maddieloupien/desktop/MESA_DIR/const

Is it possible that you've unpacked MESA in

     /Users/maddieloupien/desktop/MESA_DIR

but set `MESA_DIR` to a different directory?  If so, try setting the environment variable `MESA_DIR` to where you've unpacked MESA, for which something like this would work in bash:

    export MESA_DIR=/Users/maddieloupien/desktop/MESA_DIR

Then I'd suggest navigating to `$MESA_DIR` and running `./clean` and then `./install`.  (I'm guessing at the correct path here...)

I also noticed your `$PATH` variable puts some Anaconda paths before the MESA SDK.  If you're initialising the MESA SDK in your bash profile, you may want to make sure you initialise it after Anaconda.  I'm not familiar with Anaconda either but I would worry that you might end up using some programs from that distribution rather than the MESA SDK.  I don't think this is an issue right now though: the gfortran details at the start of the log indicate that you've got the MESA SDK version.  But this might change if you at some point install gfortran in Anaconda.

I'm not sure if this is related to the warnings about duplicate libraries.

Regards,
Warrick
