More tutorial problems

Hello all,

I'm following the tutorial:
http://radsite.lbl.gov/radiance/refer/tutorial.html
...and I receive this error:

oconv room.rad > test.oct
sh: genbox: not found
oconv: warning - (!genbox gray_paint room 3 2 1.75 -i): empty file
sh: genbox: not found
xform: (standard input): warning - empty file
oconv: warning - (!genbox blue_plastic box .5 .5 .5 | xform -rz 15 -t .5 .75
0): empty file

nick@nick-desktop:~$ rvu -vp 2.25 .375 1 -vd -.25 .125 -.125 -av .5 .5 .5
test.oct
sh: genbox: not found
rvu: warning - (!genbox gray_paint room 3 2 1.75 -i): empty file
sh: genbox: not found
xform: (standard input): warning - empty file
rvu: warning - (!genbox blue_plastic box .5 .5 .5 | xform -rz 15 -t .5 .75
0): empty file

I can see the red ball centered on the screen, but no room and table.

How can I get genbox and xform to work?

(From my limited knowledge of Radiance/Ubuntu, I think I need to install
these components, or unarchive them from the Radiance installation package)

Thanks,
Nick

Hi Nick,

There was some conflict with "genbox" and an existing tool -- try "genrbox" or "rgenbox" -- it may have been renamed on your distribution.

Hi Nick,

There was a conflict in the naming of several Radiance executables for Linux distributions.
I use a standard Radiance install of Debian, where genbox is renamed to genrbox:
/usr/bin/genrbox
You also might find "rview" being renamed to "rvu"

Good luck,

Iebele
