issues with ".ini" configuration files

[slawchune]

Hello Frederic,

I encounter some issues with the keys inside the ".ini" files provided with the last version of FES (libfes2.9). Here's bellow the error message we have got :

---

Everything worked well so far with a previous version of FES that I had, version tag : cnes_aviso-fes-91eba5796c8b.zip

Could you please assist me ?

Thanks a lot, Stéphane

The new version checks that all the keywords defined in the configuration file are known. If this is not the case, the initialization function returns an error and displays the list of unknown keywords.

The keywords "X_LAG=0/1" must be removed from the configuration file, as they are useless (it is a remnant of the old versions of the library).

Thanks for the reply Frederic, it worked perfectly ! The thing is that I used the configuration files provided with the last version (created during its installation and generated inside /libfes-2.9.0/data/fes2014). Maybe those files need to be updated ?

Cheers ! Stephane

Hi Frederic and Stephane,

I note that in the error message above, it is not only the "X_LAG=0/1" keys that need to be removed from the config file but it also mentions the LA2 coefficient: "TIDE_LA2_FILE, TIDE_LA2_LATITUDE, TIDE_LA2_LONGITUDE, TIDE_LA2_AMPLITUDE"

Is this coefficient not necessary in the new version (2.9.0)?

Thanks, Kilian
