[Radiance-general] Installing gendaylit

[Chandrayee Basu]

Hello

I am trying to determine Daylight coefficient in a classroom using ESP-r and
RADIANCE. I am getting a message on selecting sky type that "not  a radiance
skyfile". What could be the reason for this? I have installed Gendaylit and
included the link to the Gendaylit in PATH and to the Sky .cal files in
RAYPATH. Is it some problem with gensky? What should I do about this?

Thank you

Regards
Chandrayee
