[mesa-users] read_data in movie_batch.rb

[Shawfeng D. <do...@uc...>]

Hi,

We are learning Mesa and its plotting tool Tioga, in the hope that we
can use them in our coming Stellar evolution and nuclear synthesis
course. Tioga itself appears to be working fine on my iMac. And I can
use Mesa to generate some simple outputs as instructed at:
http://mesa.sourceforge.net/how_to_use_mesa_star.html

However, when I try to use the Ruby script  movie_batch.rb at
mesa/star/test/star_profile, it always fails with some obscure error
messages. After some digging, it appears that the script fails when
calling 'read_data' on line 26 of the 'run' function. 'read_data' has
not been defined, not in any script in the directory, nor in the Tioga
library. Has anyone successfully got the script to work? Any advice is
highly appreciated!

Best,
Shaw
