executing a compiled program

[richard7893]

I have compiled a program which needed fortran files to build it on a linux. When I try to execute the program I get the following message:

[richard7893@P2 ~]$ mlem1
open: No such file or directory
apparent state: unit 7 named mlem1.par
lately writing direct unformatted external IO
Aborted

I am struggling mightily in understanding how to fix this error and what the terms the error message is describing. I do not know if I have to modify the fortran code that was used to build the executable. If that is the case, I think I could be in big trouble because the fortran file I was given is so long and confusing!

I'll leave it at that for now, any help would be appreciated.

Sounds like you need better instructions on how to use this program:

what does the command line to run this program look like?
does it take arguments? does it use re-direction?
does it require the existence of data file(s) in the (same) working directory? If so
what is/are the name/s of such file(s)?
