[Radiance-general] bash : oconv: command not found

[Thomas Bleicher]

Barjesh.

When you say you installed Radiance "as per instructions" did you
follow the Unix instructions and compiled Radiance within cygwin or
did you install Windows binaries?

If you installed Windows binaries you actually do not need cygwin. You
can run the individual programs from the Windows command prompt. The
executables should be located in C:\Radiance3.9\bin\.

If you installed Radiance the Unix way check where the binaries have
been installed. The should be in "/usr/local/bin" (path within cygwin)
or perhaps somewhere in "/opt". Search for a file called "oconv" in
these directories. Here is a command that will help:

    find /usr/local -name oconv

(replace "/usr/lcoal" if you want to search somewhere else). If that
does not return a path to oconv then your installation was probably
not successful. Please provide more details about your installation
process.

If you get a path from that try to use the full path in your command at first:

/usr/local/bin/oconv room.rad > test.oct

If that works you just have to set your PATH environment variable to
include /usr/local/bin. You probably also have to set RAYPATH to help
Radiance find commonly used files.

Thomas
