Updating HYSPLIT for LINUX

[cba]

Dear Forum,

I am having trouble using update.sh after downloading HYSPLIT with wget as described here: https://ready.arl.noaa.gov/documents/Tu ... _unix.html.

1) I tried using the options server and version. I am unsure what to enter at the prompt asking for version. When I tried entering 838 for the version (which is the revision number listed when I type svn info), the code seemed to run without problems but delivered the following messages at the end:
tail: -: No such file or directory
mv: version1.inc: No such file or directory
mv: version2.inc: No such file or directory

2) I tried using the options server and checkout. It seemed to complete the first part of the script without problems, but then showed a summary of 7 tree conflicts: one for each file and folder in the hysplit directory. This was followed by the same messages as above:
tail: -: No such file or directory
mv: version1.inc: No such file or directory
mv: version2.inc: No such file or directory

I believe I have the current version of svn, as before doing the above steps I used homebrew to install it (brew install svn).

Thank you for your help,

CBA

I think I found the problem - the update.sh code had an extra dash in it that was causing it to fail:

The downloaded code read: svn ${user} info $repo | tail -n3 - >version.txt

It worked once I changed it to this: svn ${user} info $repo | tail -n3 >version.txt

Yes, are you using a Mac? We have been investigating this problem and noticed the "-" caused an issue on the Mac.

We have updated the update.sh script to correct this issue for a Mac OS.
