What version of Mac OS is installed? I suppose it's OS X and it's
a more recent version (10.3 or 10.4).

You should install the XCode 2 application "bundle" (probably on
the second DVD or via download from Apple). I don't remember
installing any additional software for compiling Radiance.

OS X does not need an X11 server. It's not installed by default.
I use the one bundled with OS X (on the first DVD, you have to
select it manually). IIRC you can use another X11 server like
X.org as well. I wouldn't bother, though.

Before you start rvu or any other X11 application you have to
start the server first or the app will not find a server to
connect to.
