[Radiance-general] RE: DEB and RPM Radiance 3R5 packages

Hi! 
 
Therefore it's not always a bad idea to have those programs 
that are not part of the distribution in their own directories 
under /opt/Program-Name. If you install software that is not 
from the distribution, you will NEVER know if there is some 
conflict hidden... so I prefer not to put the app in my 
distribution's paths. I can still set PATH and RAYPATH for 
specific users (e.g. create a radiance user account), or 
use a simple script to do these settings before you start 
rendering. 
 
Ok, to be honest... on my private box, I put all that radiance 
stuff into the standard path (/usr/local/bin here) - but I know 
that I never had problems with that, while a user on a shared 
machine might get into trouble if he NEED vi - and can't 
correct the conflicts. 
 
CU, Lars ;-)
