Hello all, I am running the SMOKE 4.8.1 testcase. The message shows missing some files. Such as: data/inventory/nctox/pnts.map.point.nctox.txt data/inventory/nctox/area.map.area.nctox.txt I have checked under the data folder, which can be downloaded on the website. Where I can find these files? Or what should I do to run the testcase successfully? Thank you. Yukui ---

Hi Yukui, It sounds like your download got corrupted. Try downloading and extracting again, the files you mention should be there. Christos ---

Those missing files you listed are the intermediate output files from Smkinven and you can’t download them. Looks like you encounter the error in your runs. Check you our Smkinven log file located under $LOGS. If you are not sure how to resolve the errors, please share the error message here with me. BH ---

Thank you @bbaek. I followed the userguide and run the testcase. After running, I do “grep ERROR \*”.

OPENTMPIN When I open one of the .log file, “elevpoint.point.nctox.log” for example, the file says: ``` Program ELEVPOINT specifies elevated point sources in the inventory by doing one of the

Thank you @chef. I have downloaded the file again. But the files are still missing. Yukui ---

@YukuiLi Based on a single error message from Smkinven, looks like PSTK (Point Stack Parameter) input file in your Smkinven run. FYI, if Smkinven runs failed, all other programs will fail since they are relying on the intermediate output files from Smkinven. So, you need to make sure you have a successful run of Smkinven first. Check your Smkinven log file and see whether PSTK file is missing or not.
