Folks,
I recently picked up the new release of Apple's extraordinary operating system (it's nice). I even performed what I like to call a "binary enema", deleting my entire partition and installing the new OS fresh. Naturally, one of the first proggies I wanted to get on here is Radiance, but the install script that worked so well on 10.2 is having problems on 10.3.
I downloaded the HEAD release, and tried:
sudo ./makeall install
Everything went well until:
Where do you want the library files [/usr/local/lib/ray]?
ls: lib: No such file or directory
csh: d1: Subscript out of range.
The directory *is* there, and I own it, but even that shouldn't matter because I'm trying to install it as root by using the sudo command. Ideas? I could download the binaries, but that's so boring.

Hi Rob,
You made the same mistake I made last time I installed from HEAD -- you forgot to download the rad3R5sup.tar.gz file and overlay it on the distribution prior to installation.
I made a correction to the "installib" script so it doesn't screw up like this next time. It's very confusing the way it is, because you have no idea from the message that it's ray/lib that's missing rather than /usr/local/lib/ray.
Let me know if it works!

Hi Greg,
Thanks for the info, John An and Francisco P. said basically the same thing to me yesterday. You guys were right about my initial problem; overlaying the support files got the sctipt to get further along (thanks), but the compile process is still having some problems. It's spewing tons of errors, and only about half the programs are getting built.
Things start going haywire when the process looks for this file: GL/glu.h
... and things fall apart from there. I have a copy of the output from the build process if anyone wants to peek at it. Maybe it's just the way I "overliad" the support folders on the HEAD distro. What is the preferred method for that?

Hi Rob,
I just got back from NYC, and didn't read through all the other responses (and "vacation" messages) before sending my reply.
For the GL stuff, sounds like you need to download the developer's option for the X11 server to get the correct headers. At least I'm hoping. Check the Apple website and see if you can find some libraries and headers for X11.

I figured as much, just givin' credit where it's due. =8-)

Hmmm. Panther comes with this new "Xcode", which are the developer's tools now. The Apple X11 server is an optional install with the main 10.3 distribution, which I of course installed, along with X tools stuff. From your email, I assumed I'm still missing something, so I went to the apple website and found this:
"X11 for Mac OS X SDK -- The software developer�s kit contains headers and other support files for X11, and is only needed if you want to compile your own X11 applications on Mac OS X v10.3. It is available on the Panther Developer CD as an optional package."
I'm assuming that "Panther Developer CD" means "Xcode CD". Of course I left the install CDs at home, so I won't be abe to try this out 'till tonite, but I have a lead now. Thanks. I thought I installed "everything", but I guess not.
P.S.
When I got my Powerbook two years ago, I thought the little status lights on the battery were cool. Now that my battery doesn't last more than 45 mins on a full charge, it's time to replace it -- one hundred and thirty bucks! Maybe the lights aren't so cool after all... =8-\
