Actually, the scene previewer rview was renamed to rvu last year, since 
rview is commonly an alias to ViM on many Linux machines.  If you've 
installed Radiance 3.7, then you should be able to call up the scene 
previewer with "rvu";  rview is no longer used (to call up the scene 
previewer-formerly-called-rview, that is).  =8-)

Sounds like you have a clean install of Tiger and then you compiled the 
latest Radiance source.  Assuming you saw no errors during compiling, 
and you have your PATH and RAYPATH set, then rvu should work for ya.  
(let us know if it doesn't.)
