Dear Developers,
I am a new user to radiance. I have compiled the Radiance V3.9 code in Ubuntu 8.1 and there were some errors during the compilation. I ran the tests in ray/test directory and the results are attached in text file. Kindly let me know whether the radiance installation is alright or I have to reinstall them.
Compiler :gcc 4.3
OS is Ubuntu 8.1
Regards
Ganesh

I doubt that the tests are uptodate at all, the Scons buildsystem doesn't seem
to be maintained. You might want to look at what I'm doing for the official
Debian packaging, see http://git.recluse.de/?p=debian/pkg-radiance.git;a=summary
It shouldn't be hard to build the current Debian version into proper packages
for older Ubuntu releases. I could even throw them into an Ubuntu PPA and build
it for older releases.
Cheers,
Bernd

Hi Ganesh,
I have not used the scons tool to compile radiance before. However, it looks to me like these errors relate to testing compiled radiance commands rather than actually doing the compile. To assure yourself of a clean compile it might make more sense to use the " makeall" script to do a fresh compile:
./makeall clean
./makeall install
then if you get errors you can report those as they will relate to the actual compile process.
Do people actually use Scons to build radiance? Is this something that should still be maintained or perhaps removed?

Scons is the only way to compile Radiance on some platforms.
I've just checked in a minor update to keep up with some
recent changes (stuff in the source tree getting [re]moved).
Unfortunately nobody besides me ever bothered to contribute
test cases, so the tests still have very limited coverage.

Hi Georg,
My apologies, I do recall now that is part of the rational for Scons. My world view tends to be pretty linux centric, so I sometimes forget about the other options out there.
Are we correct though that the errors are relating to the running of the test cases and not the actual compile of radiance?
Best,
-Jack
