Dear List,
I am a bloody beginner concerning LINUX, but would like to install
Radiance 4.2 on our machine, that is based on CentOS 5.5. The problem I
am facing is that the GLIBC_2.7 is not found, because CentOS 5.5 is
using GLIBC_2.5. Has anyone of you compiled Radiance 4.2 for CentOS 5.5?
If so, would it be possible to send me the adopted Radiance 4.2 Files?
Thanks a lot for your help and suggestions,
Katrin

Hi Katrin,
Radiance compiles without problems on Fedora, which is very similar to
CentOS/RHEL. Just make sure you have the necessary prerequisites
installed. From memory, these are:
- tcl
- tk
- libX11-devel
- gcc
- gcc-c++
- make
You don't need to adjust any of the files.
If the compilation fails, please post the lines around the first error
message from the output of makeall. Error lines are marked by a
leading '*' sign (or two?) to make them easier to spot.
Try with the default options first. If this goes smoothly, you can
change OPT=-O2 to OPT=-O3 in the rmake settings. This should make the
code a little faster.
Cheers
Axel

Hi Katrin,
Depending on your CentOS configuration you will probably need to install additional packages in order to compile radiance from source. I have not used CentOS which is based on Red Hat I believe for quite some time. I know that for Ubuntu, I need to install the following packages for a clean compile:
···
*
1. csh - needed by radiance
2. emacs - this is my preference for a text editor
3. libX11-dev - for X11 related elements
4. g++
5. tk
*
Based on what you tell us, my guess is that you need to install something called glibc-devel. To do this you will need to use a package manager, something like "rpm" or "yum." Note if the machine running CentOS 5.5 is not "yours" to do with as you please (eg break) it would make good sense to seek assistance from a sys admin if available.
As an alternative to compiling from source, it might be easier to try using pre-compiled binaries that people have made available. For example:

OpenStudio
Hope this helps,

Hi Katrin,
Thanks a lot for your great response and sorry for the late answer. My
first approach was to use pre-compiled versions of Radiance 4.2 from the
NREL website, but I got some failure messages after the installation. I
have asked our system administrator and he has told me that the Radiance
4.2 files from the NREL website for Linux are somehow linked to a newer
version of CentOS than we have at the moment. This linkage would occur
during the compilation process of the Radiance version offered at the
NREL website. I have hoped, that I am facing maybe a common problem that
some of you have already solved. But in the meantime I wonder what the
advantage would be to use Radiance 4.2 to the 4.1 version? Are there any
obvious reasons? Because we have now also tried to install the 4.1
version and the installation worked out fine.
The Radiance release notes are available on the official web site:
http://radsite.lbl.gov/radiance/refer/Notes/ReleaseNotes.html
It's probably a good idea to always use the latest version. There are always some bugs that get fixed, and new functionality that gets added.
If you intend to use rtcontrib, you might even want to consider living at the cutting edge with the nightly HEAD releases. I've never had problems with instability etc.
Cheers
Axel
I'm seeing a few issues like this now and think we will be doing static
linking in the next round of packages. Chris Humann, if you're listening,
I also now have universal libtiff.a and zlib.a libraries so I will be able
to offer you a universal installer that'll run on OS X 10.5.
Sorry for all the incompatibilities and inconsistencies, I'm still
learning, here. Hopefully, the NREL offerings will only improve over time,
both in quality and frequency.
