[Radiance-general] objline doesn't seem to work properly and X11 window flash and gone very quickly

[Ji Zhang 张冀]

Hi, everybody,

When I type "objline buildings.rad | x11meta" and return in the Terminal in
Mac OS X Snow Leopard, the *X11 window showed up for a very very short of
period and then disappeared immediately*.

As to my understanding, what we'll get by execute the objline command is an
image with four wire frame views of the geometry described in a specific
.rad file and the image window will stay on the screen rather than flash and
gone, am I right?

It seems the rest Radiance commands are still working. I can use Python to
execute in batch those most fundamental radiance commands like getinfo,
gensky, genbox, oconv, rpict, rvu, etc. with images displaying correctly.

So, can anybody help to point out what's wrong here and how to fix it?

Both my Mac OS X system and my Radiance are fresh installation.

I install the latest Radiance following the guide from the this website
after I tried and failed by following the README file in the installation
folder of Rad4R0.

Is it because my Radiance is not properly installed?

Really appreciate your help!

Ji
