These are the files generated nightly since January 2003 and distributed by the webserver.
So what's the problem ? Am I missing some vital point here ?

Hi Peter,

I'm sorry. I misinterpreted events. When I uploaded and unpacked the distribution on radiance-online.org, these files were somehow missing, or so I thought. I just went through what I did again, and discovered what went wrong. You see, I neglected to add the supplementary files on top of the distribution after unpacking it and before running makeall, which attempted to install files in ray/lib without first creating the directory. (It was always there before.) When it hit the following point in the build:

cd /home/greg/ray/lib ; rm -f tmesh.cal
/bin/sh: line 1: cd: /home/greg/ray/lib: No such file or directory
cp tmesh.cal /home/greg/ray/lib
cp: cannot stat `tmesh.cal': No such file or directory
make: *** [install] Error 1

It wasn't able to change to the library directory, then inappropriately removed tmesh.cal. So, when I went to look at it later, I was too hasty in deciding that it was never there to begin with.

I will modify the installib script to create the ray/lib directory if it doesn't already exist, and this will fix the problem for others who make the same mistake.

Sorry for the false alarm.
-Greg
