As the for root, the current directory is usually not included into the PATH
for obvious security reasons (if you have ./ in your root path, and a clever
guy has put a little script called "ls" into a directory that simply
contains "rm -R /", you would be surprised ;-), you will usually have to specify the
path to scripts in non-standard directories.

Why /usr/lib, you should have kept the default /usr/local/lib/ray (after
creating /usr/local/lib... you have a funny Linux distribution if there hasn't
been a /usr/local/lib before).

No, the makeall script will do this.

Hmmm that doesn't look like a Linux / x86 setting.... There is something
"preconfigured" that you don't want. Do a ./makeall clean first. If that doesn't
help (the makeall should ask you about your system / environment, e.g.
Linux, Solaris, AIX, BSD...), touch the makeall script (afaik, if the script has
been "modified", e.g. by setting the modification time, it will go through the
whole configuration procedure - else it will just recompile).

Of course, that's not for your Linux box.

I hope you will get a working radiance soon. I wonder if we will see a
standard installation for radiance one day (make config, make, make test, make
install, or even a configure script).

BTW: if you have successfully installed radiance for the first time, the
next might be to try some optimizations with gcc (e.g. -O3 -ffast-math
-mcpu=YourCpu)... But that will be the next step...

Good luck, CU, Lars.
