[esp-r] Re: emenu error when using viewfactor module

[Jon Hand]

The normal way to work with the viewfactor application is from within the ESP-r
project manager - that will start up espvwf with not only the name of the
model cfg file but also focused on a particular zone.  

You do not mention the specific version/revision number - this would be
helpful.  Is the CentOS 5.8 a 32bit or 64bit version and what compiler
did you use to compile it?  I have used ESP-r on CentOS, 
in graphic mode and it was not particularly problematic.  I have not
tried espvwf in pure-text mode recently.

Is there a reason that you are working with the text-only version?  The graphic
version provides rather more feedback.  64bit GTK is not as robust as the X11
version.

And what was in the interface just before the crash?  

Regards, Jon Hand

Subject: [esp-r]  emenu error when using viewfactor module

Hi All,

I am having a consistent problem with ESP-r, and i cannot for the life of me work out why it's happening; i have little experience of fortran.  Any advice you guys could provide would be invaluable.  Just to get the basics out the way first, i am running a text-only version of ESP-r release 11.1 on a Unix OS (CentOS 5.8).

When attempting to use the viewfactor and MRT module through either the project manager or results modules (i.e. to perform viewfactor calculations, and to provide local comfort results, respectively), i always get an error "emenu: error composing prompt" followed by "Closing viewfactor and MRT module ..." and then it crashes, requiring me to kill the program manually. The error occurs after all the blurb and the main interface has loaded and printed, at the prompt.

This does not occur when i enter the program directly (i.e. $ ./bin/espvwf -file ****.cfg), and as such i am able to perform the viewfactor calculations, however local comfort analysis becomes impractical as i have to enter all the surface temps in manually.

Any help anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated, i have been trawling through the code for weeks trying to trace this.

With hope,
Andy
