Hi all,
Andy, thanks for a great tutorial, very easy to follow along with Axel's
excellent diary of trials and errors. I have a quick question, I have
no doubt it is a lack of linux knowledge on my behalf but would welcome
any help.
I have got so far as to generate the vmx, dmx and skv files. I have
also generated a simple window detail in window6 and copied the xml and
csv across to the linux box. When I run the dctimestep script I get the
error 'warning cannot find the BSDF 3mmClear.xml' file. It is there in
the correct folder, I have checked and checked again that the script
uppercase / lowercase matches the filename, I have checked that I am
searching the correct folder and I have checked in the xml file that the
filename is the same. I am now at a loss.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Andrew

I haven't used dctimestep yet but have you checked the usual things:
1) is there a space in the file name ("BSDF 3mmClear.xml")? If so
remove it. That can make many scripts happy.
2) Do you have RAYPATH set and does it include the current directory
(single dot as in RAYPATH=".;/usr/local/lib/ray")
3) Have you tried to specify the file name with a leading "./"
("./3mmClear.xml")?
Just a few ideas.

Thanks Thomas,
I was missing the .; and now it finds the 3mmClear.xml file. Sorry about such a basic error, and to think I have fallen over with that one before. It now can't find reinhart.cal, I will dig around and sort out exactly how my .profile RAYPATH should be written, It clearly must be the way I have written that.
Thanks again.
Regards
Andrew

If you're not sure about the RAYPATH variabel just copy-and-paste the
line in an email so that we can look at it.
Basically you just list each directory separated by a ":" (not ";" as
in my example above!).
If you have spaces in a path you have to enclose the whole thing in
quotes (RAYPATH="...") otherwise it's not essential but good style.
Depending on where you define it you can add the contents of a
previously set RAYPATH by exanding the variable in the list:
RAYPATH=".:/home/andrew/ray:${RAYPATH}"
If you add ${RAYPATH} at the end the content of directories listed
before will replace files found in the standard locations. This is
only important if you write your own *.cal files.
