[Radiance-general] OSX rpict errors with mkillum

[Gregory J. Ward]

Hi Chris,

This sounds like a RAYPATH issue.  What do you get when you type  
"echo $RAYPATH"?  I'm guessing you don't have '.' in the path for  
some reason.  Either that, or the directory you're in doesn't have  
the right permissions.  (Though I would expect an earlier error in  
that case.)  What do you get when you type "ls -l illum12.dat"?
