[Radiance-general] rtrace-command

[Greg Ward]

Hi Olga,

It sounds like one of your files (probably the octree) got truncated.  
This usually happens when you abort a make.  Try running "make clean" 
first, then "make sholo".  If you still have troubles, type "which 
getinfo" to make sure you don't have some other executable taking 
Radiance's place.

Thanks for the hint, Greg! It works much better with rholo!

  Unfortunately, when I was trying to run one of the examples provided 
in ray/obj/cabin by typing make sholo I got the following error:

  [domna]s0343631: make sholo
  rholo -n 1 -o ogl summer.hdk
  rad: error reading bounding cube from getinfo
  rholo: system - cannot start rtrace process: No such file or directory
  summer.hdk: 6.0 Mbyte holodeck file, 0.0% fragmentation
  make: *** [sholo] Error 2

  Actually, if I run only rholo in the same directory, it works, which 
means that the PATH-variable is ok. But with 'make sholo' apparently 
something goes wrong. Is it possible that this command is not working 
because I use the tmp-directory, i.e. I copied the cabin-directory into 
tmp? Unfortunately, I am run out of space on my home directory, so I 
have no other choice at the moment.

  If somebody has an idea what could be wrong, I would be glatt to hear 
from him or her! Thanks!
