trouble in installing radiance on ubuntu 8.03-a new user

Dear all,

I am new not only for radiance but also for Ubuntu.

I tried to install radiance on ubuntu8.03 as following steps,

(i) downloaded and installed the ubuntu8.03, and I think it should work well.

(ii) download the "rad3R9_linux.tar.gz" from
http://radsite.lbl.gov/radiance/framed.html and copy to
/home/myname/rad3R9_linux.tar.gz

(iii) in the ubuntu8.03, use "su" to "root", and decoppress the
rad3R9_linux.tar.gz with "tar -xzvf rad3R9_linux.tar.gz", then generate a new
folder "rad3R9_linux" in /home/myname/, and there are a lot of files in that
new folder.

(iv) exit root, use "cd " to /home/myname/rad3R9_linux,then su to root, and
according to the readme file, use ./makeall install, but it always didn't work
and tell me"./makeall command not found"

could anyone give me a hand?

thank you in advance.

Ragards,

Hello,

I would suggest to use 'radiance' and 'radiance-materials' packages from
ubuntu repository.
On Ubuntu, use this command: sudo apt-get install radiance
radiance-materials

Hope this will help :

Hi,

I realize you received several replies on this. But just a note for
everyone.The error that you received when trying to run makeall install,
eg "command not found," indicates that you do not have cshell (csh)
installed. This is the shell that makeall requires. If you type "csh" at
the command line, you should get a message that explains how to get csh
using apt-get.
