falsecolor trouble

I've just rendered my first successful Radiance picture with rad.

Now, I want to produce a contour line picture from falsecolor.

However, when I enter this into my command line:

        falsecolor -ip skeltest1_vw1.pic -cl > contourtest.pic

This is returned:

        csh: mkdir: Command not found.

And a file called contourtest.pic of size 0k is created in the
appropriate folder.

Can anyone help?

I'm running the August 05 versiton (3.7?) of Radiance on a G5 iMac
with MacOSX 10.4.0 using the standard X11 distribution that came with
the system.

Thanks!

Hi Anthony,

There is a problem under OS X, which doesn't have a /usr/tmp directory. This has been fixed in the latest release (I think), but maybe not the one you have. The solution is to execute "sudo ln -s /var/tmp /usr" and enter the administrator's password.

There should have been a note about this spat out by makeall, but maybe you missed it.

Your csh tells you that it can't find the command "mkdir"
which should be in your /bin directory (here: OS X 10.4.4)
and is (hopefully) a sign for a wrong search path setting.

Please check which csh you are using and if you can find mkdir
from the command line. Type these commands:

which csh
which mkdir

Also check the output of

echo $PATH

You realy should fix this csh problem but here is a quick
workaround:

Create a new directory (with "Finder") or - if this works -
from the BASH prompt:

mkdir /tmp/falsecolor

And change the first line (after the comments) in falsecolor
(probably the file "/usr/local/bin/falsecolor"):

You can only run one instance of falsecolor at a time now
but it will help until you found and fixed the real problem.

Greg and Thomas,
Thanks! I made the link Greg suggested and I dug through my
csh-related files until I found the csh.login file where I included
the radiance paths and now falsecolor works very well from the
Terminal. It doesn't work at all in the X11 xterm, but I think this
is a minor trouble right now.
