I'm running a simulation on hollow mirror lightpipes and I've installed  
the photon map compiled by Carsten Bauer (at  
\<[http://www.cb-d.de/pmap/pmap.html](http://www.cb-d.de/pmap/pmap.html)\> [http://www.cb-d.de/pmap/pmap.html](http://www.cb-d.de/pmap/pmap.html))  
for Radiance 3.6. I also downloaded the examples from  
\<[mailto:ganjatron@gmx.net](mailto:ganjatron@gmx.net)\> Roland Schregle's webpage (  
\<[http://www.ise.fhg.de/alt-aber-aktiv/radiance/photon-map/download.html](http://www.ise.fhg.de/alt-aber-aktiv/radiance/photon-map/download.html)\>  
[http://www.ise.fhg.de/alt-aber-aktiv/radiance/photon-map/download.html](http://www.ise.fhg.de/alt-aber-aktiv/radiance/photon-map/download.html))  
to run a "test drive". The Photon Map runs all scripts without any  
problems until I use the examples with "ports". It falls into what seems  
a loop where the progress reports give me an exorbitant 30,000% (it's  
still running.). Will it stop eventually?

Does anybody have worked with the ports option and bumped into this  
abnormal behaviour?

Hi Erico,

you probably should use the current version of photon-mapping(4.3), which is for the RADIANCE 3.7. Roland made this new version some weeks ago.  
I'm not sure, if this helps in your special case, but I never had such problems with using photon-ports and I used it several times without any problems (I always used the 3.28 version for RADIANCE 3.5).

We are actually reorganizing our web-pages and unfortunately the English (web)version is not available and the German version shows a bug in direct linking. That's the reason, why I haven't posted it to the community yet.

Anyhow, it is already on a Web-page for downloading.  
You can get it on:  
[http://www.ise.fraunhofer.de/german/fields/field6/mb4/index.html](http://www.ise.fraunhofer.de/german/fields/field6/mb4/index.html) then follow link on "Lichtsimulation", then "RADIANCE", then "p-map"

Good luck!

Jan

Hi Jan,

Thanks for the pointer. I've downloaded the pmap 4.3 version and tried  
to compile/install (after performing a fresh installation of radiance  
3.7), but the pmap installation is unsuccessful, with the following  
error messages being generated by 'makeall install' during the  
compilation:

../lib/libpmap.a(pmapmat.o)(.text+0xf64): In function  
`anisoSpecPhotonScatter':

Do you have any idea of what might be causing this?

Thanks in advance,

If you're using linux, you can download the new pmap binaries from this page:  
[http://www.bozzograo.net/radiance/modules.php?op=modload&name=Downloads&file=index&req=viewdownload&cid=4](http://www.bozzograo.net/radiance/modules.php?op=modload&name=Downloads&file=index&req=viewdownload&cid=4)

Hi Erico,

you should use RADIANCE 3.7, Patchlevel 2, which we have put also onto the same page. I just checked it and I could compile it without any problems on my linux machine.

Hi Jan and Francesco,

Thanks a bunch! Redhat has collaborated and Pmap 4.3 is running fine  
now.
