Hello,
Bump example errors seem strange. Have you tried another example from the telemac2d folder? Or even from another module, e.g. TOMAWAC.
The files from baxter tutorial could be meant for a version different than v7p3 that you have installed, so the error could originate from there.
As a general remark, I would recommend to run the latest telemac version, which is v8p0r3. I hope there exists an automatic installer for it. If you plan to really get into telemac, you should download the sources from the svn repository and build it on your own.
