Testing with ows_papa

Following [5.4] of http://www.gotm.net/index.php?go=software&page=installation, the executable 'gotm_prod_GFORTRAN' was created, which was placed in '~/GOTM/gotm-git/bin' directory.

Now, I test-run the model with the case 'ows_papa'. First, download the two files (http://www.gotm.net/cases/v4.0/ows_papa.tar.gz and http://www.gotm.net/cases/v4.0/ows_papa.gotmscenario) here: http://www.gotm.net/index.php?go=software&page=testcases

Then I placed all the downloaded files into 'ows_papa' directory.

Then I created '~/GOTM/gotm-git/mine' directory, in which all my scenarios will be stored. I stored 'ows_papa' here.

In 'ows_papa', do:

ln -sf ../../bin/gotm_prod_GFORTRAN gotm

Then for the rest, follow 6.3-6.5 of http://www.gotm.net/index.php?go=software&page=installation. Step 6.3 is not applicable to ows_papa.

As I execute './gotm', I get the following error:

init_observations
At line 449 of file observations.F90 (unit = 10, file = 'obs.nml')
Fortran runtime error: End of file

There was a similar problem discussed here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/gotm-users/observations.F90/gotm-users/CfqkhjMwlYg/q7ZzZ2wECCoJ

I am not sure what this means. The same problem arises if I test-run with the case 'couette'.

However, such problem does not occur with the stable (non-developer) version 'gotm-4.0.0', as 'src/observations/observations.F90' in 'gotm-4.0.0' is not the same as that in 'gotm-git' apparently.

I guess I will use this version for now..
