Radzilla again-thanks

Hi giulio,

Thanks for your help! Brilliant!! it is working then...

Many Thanks,

idaz

this is the usual problem of defining your 'environment variables' or

···

putting the libraries somewhere on the disk.

The shortcut is, when compiling radzilla, indicate the location of these

libraries and save these files there.

Just look for rayinit.cal on your disk, is it there? If not you need to

download the libraries (look either on Carsten web site or on the

official radiance web site)

If you have a precompiled version of radiance, just look over the past

messages for environmental variables, there should be a full lot of

messages about this out there.

you need to, depending on your terminal, define a variable called

RAYPATH that tells the terminal where radiance libraries are kept

(assuming you installed them).

just try to understand if you are using bash ($) or tcsh (%) first (open

the terminal and look for the last character before the blinking cursor,

is it % or $ ?),

then locate the user profile file (that has a different name depending

on the above... it may be ~/.bash_profile for bash and ~/.tcshrc if you

use tcsh).

add the proper line to define RAYPATH

NOW BE REALLY CAREFUL! IF YOU DO A MISTAKE IT IS DIFFICULT TO GO BACK.

so I would suggest you to try using a text editor to change the file...

and remember to use UNIX line ending. Try with a copy of the file 1st,

just to be sure.

When you have done check by

opening a new terminal

typing env

you should show the new defined variable:

RAYPATH=........

ciao,

giulio

PS which platform are you using radzilla on?
