beginner's installation problems

Hi all,

I’m new to Radiance and command line tools are not yet my best friends, though I think I understood the very basics through the tutorials from radiance-online.

I’ve installed Radiance on my MacBook Pro 10.6.8 using the ‘NREL radiance installer’ and added PATH, RAYPATH and MANPATH to the .profile. The first test ‘which genbox’ delivers ‘/usr/local/radiance/bin/genbox’, so I guess this should be fine.

Then I wanted to test run the installation with Mark Stock’s bench4.tar.gz (like in the ‘Compiling on a Mac’ video) which unfortunately shows an error:

Carolin-Seibs-MacBook-Pro:bench4 carolinseib$ make

obj2mesh -n 15 -r 16384 lens.obj > lens.msh

/bin/sh: line 1: 5523 Segmentation fault obj2mesh -n 15 -r 16384 lens.obj > lens.msh

make: *** [scene.oct] Error 139

Google and radiance mailing lists didn’t provide answers to that, so I’d be very pleased if you could help.

Thanks

Hello,

Could you try the following two commands, by themselves? I hope it gives us an idea of where to begin looking for a solution.

obj2mesh -n 15 -r 16384 lens.obj > lens.msh
obj2mesh lens.obj > lens.msh

Hi,

the outcome of both is ‘Illegal instruction’.

Carolin,

Ah, I see it now. The NREL Radiance installers are for OSX versions 10.7 and 10.8. The "Illegal instruction" error means that the compiled binaries use instructions that became available only in OSX 10.7.

Your options seem to be: Upgrade to 10.7, or install and build Radiance manually. Check out this page for instructions:

Sorry about the incompatibility. We're here to help with the manual installation.

Hi Carolin,

Did you end up having to use the manual build process? I thought our NREL builds of the Radiance source supported Mac all the way back to 10.6; if not, I'll have to look into how we might support earlier versions.

Hey Rob,

yes, I did use the manual way in the end. (I have Mac OS X 10.6.8 Build 10K549 installed)

Cheers
