unreadable source files

[andreykoch]

Hello!

I followed Kate's advise from "TKE as initial field" discussion under "ROMS problems", and downloaded latest source code trunk-r186.zip. Then of course I unzipped it. When I tried to view a content of some files in emacs text editor I got the message:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (file-error "File is not readable"
"~/ROMS_3.0_new/ROMS/Include/adria02.h")
signal(file-error ("File is not readable"
"~/ROMS_3.0_new/ROMS/Include/adria02.h"))
byte-code("Ã!ƒ

Other text browsers also identified all source files as not readable. I am using Linux OS, and I logged into SVN ROMS repository under my eligible login. If someone has experienced such a problem before and would tell me how to solve it I would appreciate this a lot.

what are the file permissions on it? Can you see it with "ls -l file"? Does it have non-zero size?

[andreykoch]

Kate, thanks again for your help!

All files have same regular size as in my old verions. And there are no permissions on them, I got ------ instead of expected "-rw-r--r--" with "ls -l" command.

how about checking out a new version using svn?

Well, I tried to do so, but it seems I have not enough information to accomplish the downloading process of source code through svn. My machine is under Linux OS, I got latest version of smartsvn (smartsvn-3_0_9), but I have no idea how to use it to be able to download ROMS source code.

I agree that you should be using svn, though I can't help with Smartsvn. However, since you have the files, you can use chmod on them to make them readable.

Kate-

Thanks a lot for your tip, I made files readable, and when I tried to compile the code with 'make' command, I got an error:

makefile:231: INCLUDING FILE Compilers/make_macros.mk WHICH CONTAINS APPLICATION-DEPENDENT MAKE DEFINITIONS
make: svnversion: Command not found
cp -f /opt/pgisoft/netcdf/include/netcdf.mod Build
cp: cannot stat `/opt/pgisoft/netcdf/include/netcdf.mod': No such file or directory
make: *** [Build/netcdf.mod] Error 1

which I guess is related to the way I obtained the source - without svn. I tried to compile with my old makefile, and the result was the same.

cp: cannot stat `/opt/pgisoft/netcdf/include/netcdf.mod': No such file or directory
make: *** [Build/netcdf.mod] Error 1

The makefile is telling you the problem right away. It cannot find the NetCDF library Check where is the NetCDF library in your system and correct the path in Compilers/Linux-pgi.mk.

There is plenty information in WikiROM. Your postings above it is telling me that you are not following the instructions Use svn directly from the Linux command. It simpler and the best way.

Hernan,

Thank you for the information, I changed the paths, and now I have the executable compiled and moreover running (!).

Your postings above it is telling me that you are not following the instructions Use svn directly from the Linux command. It simpler and the best way.

I realize that using svn is the best and simpliest way to download and update the code. But somehow it doesn't work for my particular situation. Previously I tried some commands in Linux command line, like provided on https://www.myroms.org/projects/src/wiki/SvnTutorial:
./configure --with-ssl
make
sudo make

they didn't work. Whether the system couldn't recognize these commands or needed something else, I don't know.
