Linux installation issue

zha · May 10, 2020, 2:17am

Hello everybody:

Today I was trying to install Radiance on Linux but it partially failed.

I am using Window linux subsystem.

Does anyone know how this happened?

(base) user@DESKTOP-MKGHKQE:~/Radiance-5.2$ sudo ./makeall install

                RADIANCE 5.2 INSTALLATION

This script rebuilds all of the Radiance programs and installs
them on your system.  You should read the file README before running
this script.  You can type ^C (followed by return) at any time to abort.

You must first answer the following questions.

What is your preferred editor [vi]?
Where do you want the executables [/usr/local/bin]?
Current rmake command is:
#!/bin/sh
exec make "SPECIAL=" \
        "OPT=-O" \
        "MACH=" \
        ARCH=other "COMPAT=erf.o strcmp.o strlcpy.o timegm.o" \
        INSTDIR=/usr/local/bin \
        LIBDIR=/usr/local/lib/ray \
        ESUFFIX= \
         "$@" -f Rmakefile

There were some errors.

Here are some additional error that I don;t really understand… They are too long so I can only share a google drive link:

Greg_Ward · May 10, 2020, 4:14pm

Looks like your build tree is missing the overlay provided by the auxiliary files archive here: https://radiance-online.org/download-install/radiance-source-code/latest-release/radR52supp.tar.gz

Install this over the source distribution and try again. The Unix build also expects a working installation of X11 and libraries.

zha · May 10, 2020, 5:05pm

Dear @Greg_Ward,

Thank you very much. I did have the auxiliary files (ray folder) install on the home diectory… and I install X11 using the following commands:

sudo apt-get install -y libx11-dev

sudo apt-get install -y libc6-dev

I believe some other errors came up as you can see in the google drive files, e.g.:

cp: target '/usr/local/lib/ray/meta' is not a directory
../lib/libtiff.a: file not recognized: file format not recognized
cp: target '/usr/local/lib/ray/meta' is not a directory
Cannot find wish executable in current path -- trad not installed.

And some many other warnings like lookamb.c:77:4: warning: ignoring return value of ‘fscanf’, declared with attribute warn_unused_result [-Wunused-result] 77 | fscanf(fp, "%*s");

This warning is just an example but there are many more. SHould I pay attention to them?

Thank you so much!

The cc compiler warnings can be safely ignored. Different compilers warn about different “offenses,” and I gave up worrying about it a long time ago.

Regarding /usr/local/lib/ray/meta not being a directory, the first run of “makeall install” usually asks where and if you want your libraries installed. If that fails, then you can get this error.

I forgot to mention that wish is needed if you want to install trad, but it’s optional so you don’t really need to worry about it.

I don’t know what’s going on with libtiff on your build. You may not be able to get ra_tiff and a few other utilities to build because of this.

zha · May 10, 2020, 7:09pm

Dear @Greg_Ward

Thank you for the comments!!

So should I always type /usr/local/bin in the first run? Will the following makeall install runs fix it? If not, is there any way to do this retroactively? Also, what the implication of this error and can I ignore it? I was wondering because even if I typed in /usr/local/bin during makeall install (first and following runs), I never be able to find usr/local/lib/ray/meta directory manually. Is this something that should be created automatically?

So did you mean that if I don’t use ra_tiff, then I don’t have to worry about it?

Thank you so much!

Try running “makeall library” and see what happens. The destination defaults to “/usr/local/lib/ray”, but if you don’t have permissions to write “/usr/local/lib”, you can put it somewhere else and set the RAYPATH variable as advised in your .bashrc or whatever shell start-up script you use. Say “yes” when it asks you if you want to install the library files.

zha · May 10, 2020, 7:57pm

Dear @Greg_Ward

Thanks, also for me other question, is it critical to get ra_tiff and a few other utilities to build because of the file not recognized: file format not recognized error?

Yeah, I think that worked for me… I now meta folder there now

(base) user@DESKTOP-MKGHKQE:~$ cd ray
(base) user@DESKTOP-MKGHKQE:~/ray$ sudo ./makeall library
[sudo] password for user:
Where do you want the library files [/usr/local/lib/ray]? /usr/local/lib/ray
Install library files now [n]? y
Copying library files to /usr/local/lib/ray... Done.

Set the environment variable RAYPATH=.:/usr/local/lib/ray
For C-shell users, put the following into ~/.cshrc
        setenv RAYPATH .:/usr/local/lib/ray
For Bourne shell users, put the following into $HOME/.profile
        RAYPATH=.:/usr/local/lib/ray
        export RAYPATH

Thank you so much !

Greg_Ward · May 10, 2020, 8:22pm

No, it’s not critical. You just won’t be able to convert to/from TIFF .

zha · May 10, 2020, 8:23pm

Dear @Greg_Ward,

Great! Thank you very much for your help!

Have a great day!

zha · May 13, 2020, 4:34pm

Hello @Greg_Ward,

Today when I was installing on another linux distributiuo, and a new error came up and I am not sure what casued it. Would you be able to help me one more time please?

/usr/local/bin/rmake: 2: exec: make: not found

Greg_Ward · May 13, 2020, 4:49pm

Sounds like you have not installed the necessary developer/compiler package on this machine.
