[Radiance-general] rad command

[Rob Guglielmetti]

Hi Tarik,

What's happening there is that your system has a symlink to the vi text 
editor named 'rview', which is also the old name for the model viewer in 
Radiance (which your model is fed to when you run rad with the -o x11 
switch).  The symlink is in a directory further up the path prescedence 
chain than the rview executable, so it's being called by rad instead of 
the rview you want.

What version of radiance are you using?  rview was recently renamed to 
rvu to get around this problem.  If this is your personal system, you 
could also locate the link and remove it, that's what I used to do (I 
could never understand why people would rather type 'rview' for an 
executable called 'vi').
