ROMS 3.0 BioToys on MacBook Pro

[bronwyn]

Hi there,

I'm trying to get ROMS 3.0 BioToys Application running on a MacBook Pro. I've successfully run previous versions of ROMS / BioToys on the Mac. Here's what I've done so far:

I checked out the latest version of ROMS code from the repository and downloaded it onto MacBook Pro. I installed NetCDF-3.6.2 and make 3.8.1 and then compiled oceanS (and oceanG) successfully using g95. I encounter a problem when I try to run it ... only gets as far as defining process information and ROMS version and then appears to stop as follows:

e179156144:~/src/romsmac/trunk bronwyn$ ./oceanG User/External/ocean_bio_toy.in

Process Information:

Thread # 0 (pid= 10941) is active.

Model Input Parameters: ROMS/TOMS version 3.0

Running oceanG doesn't give any further information. Looks like it can't find or read ocean_bio_toy.in file. I've checked paths, MyApp and HEADER etc ... and can't find anything obvious.

I don't have SVN installed on the Mac, and wonder if this is maybe a problem? Any other ideas?

Thanks
Bronwyn

Code: Select all

bronwyn$ ./oceanG User/External/ocean_bio_toy.in

This would be the right invokation for oceanM (MPI), but for the serial code you need to add a less-than sign:

Code: Select all

bronwyn$ ./oceanG < User/External/ocean_bio_toy.in

In your case, ROMS was trying to read the .in file on stdin, so you could have typed in all the required parameters and it would have been happy.

Thanks Kate ... glad it was something easy to fix. All working now.
