[Radiance-general] Radiance on Ubuntu7.10

[Jack de Valpine]

Hi Aditya, Lucio and Dave,

In order to get Radiance to compile on Ubuntu 7.10 (stock workstation 
install), I needed to install the following (using synaptics package 
manager):

   1. from Libs
         1. libc6-dev
         2. libx11-dev
   2. from Development
         1. g++-4.1 (get the version that matches your installed gcc)
         2. tcl8l.4
   3. also you will need csh, which can be easily obtained using apt-get
      as Dave already pointed out

Note also you could try installing the Debian Radiance package for 
compiled binaries:

    http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/graphics/radiance

However this appears to be for Hardy (8.04 development release) so I do 
not know if there are any issues running it on Gutsy (7.10 stable release).

Best,

-Jack
