[Radiance-general] iges conversion

[Mark Stock]

Chris,

Did you build the software? It sounds like the build process 
didn't know where the librt.so.19 file was during the linking 
procedure. One way to correct this is to make sure that there is 
a "-L/usr/X11R6/lib/" -type entry on the linker command line "ld" 
or the compile command line (if the compile command is 
responsible for linking, too, as it sometimes is.)

Unfortunately, just moving the library to the right place doesn't 
tell the executable to use it.

I am sorry that I can't help more.

Mark
