Having Radiance in /usr/local/bin as well as /usr/local/radiance/bin can
be problematic, even with a tightly configured environment. Your initial
change to .profile *should* have worked though, i.e., "which gensky" should
have found the one in /usr/local/radiance/bin. My guess is you didn't
source ~/.profile or start a new terminal window before trying the "which"
command. Or maybe the order the way you have it there is wrong. Personally
I start with the existing path and append /usr/local/radiance/bin to that.
I'm with Ehsan, you may want to start clean (unfortunately there's no clean
way to uninstall Radiance), reinstall, and add the following to your
environment (personally I make these changes to ~/.bash_profile):
## Radiance path crap
export PATH=$PATH:.:/usr/local/radiance/bin
export RAYPATH=.:/usr/local/radiance/lib
export MANPATH=$MANPATH:/usr/local/radiance/doc

I guess its better to cleanup all the radiance files from bin and install
it from scratch! I assume you used the link below:

Hope this help.

Hi, Ehsan, yes, I also tried using "sudo pico ~/.profile", but the problem
is still the same:
No feedback when I typied "which gensky" in terminal, although it is in
the folder /usr/local/radiance/bin ...
Any advices?

Hi,
I guess you should use sudo before pico. cuz without sudo you cant save
the .profile
Cheers,

Hi, I don't seem to be able to get the my Radiance environment variable
set correctly after the following steps:
1. install the latest Radiance 4.2.1 for Mac which is installed to the
/usr/local/radiance folder.
2. use "pico ~/.profile" to edit .profile and add the following lines:
export PATH=/usr/local/radiance/bin:$PATH
export RAYPATH=.:/usr/local/radiance/lib
export MANPATH=/usr/local/radiance/man
However, when I type "which gensky" in the terminal, it still points me to
the path of gensky in a different location: "/usr/local/bin" where copies
of some Radiance programs are put previously.
I wonder why the editing of .profile didn't work in this case even if I
restarted my computer ...
So, can I have some advices on how to:
1. clear up earlier copies of Radiance programs
2. do a clean installation of Radiance
3. and set its environmental variables correctly?
Thanks!
