<p>Well, I don't know if the git hash corresponds to the ET release directly (I took it from the front page of the UsersGuide.pdf I have on my work station). The corresponding ET release should be ET_2024_05 I think.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I'm not sure this is (completely) a matter of version, since for a given version, I get different behaviors on different machines:</p>
<p>- ET_2024_05: Deucalion --> range error ; work station --> fine</p>
<p>- ET_2025_05: Deucalion --> range error ; work station, MesoPSL, MareNostrum --> all fine.</p>
<p>Isn't ET_2025_05 the latest?</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Best,</p>

Hello Jordan,<br>
<br>
Hmm, worksforme with the current ET version. I will need to give the<br>
version of your git hash a try.<br>
<br>
Yours,<br>

<a href="https://einsteintoolkit.org/download.html" id="LPlnk947293">https://einsteintoolkit.org/download.html</a> (in particular, !DEFINE ET_RELEASE = ET_2025_05). I've just commented out some thorns (typically CarpetX related). I am attaching the config file
and thornlist, if it can be insightful. I can provide the log files containing the output of "make config" and "make" commands if needed.<br>
