[Radiance-general] Re: problem with options of 'rview'

[Greg Ward]

Hi Olga,

No one mentioned the simplest solution, which I suppose is obvious, of 
changing your PATH environment variable in your shell so that the 
Radiance bin directory (/usr/local/bin by default) preceeds the 
directory containing vim (/usr/bin usually).  This will fix the problem 
without having to rename or reinstall anything.  Renaming Radiance's 
"rview" to "rvu" will break the concurrent release of "rad," which 
still calls "rview" to start an interactive rendering.

I'm affraid my first attemp to post this message hasn't been 
successfull, so I try it once more. Please don't take this mail into 
account, it the first one is alredy posted:

  After downloading the dynamic binaries for Linux and installing the 
radiance'
  library I've tried to execute the rad-command from the tuturial (rad 
-o x11
  daf.rif) as well as just the rview-command with other oct-files, but
  unfortunately the -vp option could not be executed and I got the 
following
  error:

  rview -vu 0 1 0 -vp 50 60 40 -vd 0 -1 -1 -vh 20 -vv 20 -ps 8 -pt .16 
-dp 128 -ar
  9 -ds 0 -dt .2 -dc .25 -dr 0 -sj 0 -st .5 -aa .4 -ad 64 -as 0 -av 0.5 
0.5 0.5
  -lr 3 -lw .02 -R daf.rif -o x11 -pe 1 daf.oct
  VIM - Vi IMproved 6.2 (2003 Jun 1, compiled Sep 26 2003 16:12:37)
  Unknown option: "-vp"
  rad: error running rview


  Now I'm wondering, whether the problem arises, because I am using the 
dynamic
  binaries instead of static, or is it something else?


  Thanks,

  Olga Graf
