Susan,

Unfortunately that section of the User's Guide is not fully up to date.
Please try adding this line to you parameter file:

  sim_profFileName        = "/dev/null"

(FLASH is trying to read an initial 1D profile from a file that does not 
exist, if you do not set this; this feature did not yet exist when the 
section of the U.G. was last updated.)

If you were just using the FLASH parameter file from the User's Guide -
it is better to start with the default version that is included in
the Sedov simulation directory, i.e., 

 source/Simulation/SimulationMain/Sedov/flash.par ,

which has some additional runtime parameters that may be needed.
