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

[Ji Zhang 张冀]

Thanks, John!

But I think the rad file I used should be OK because it only contains five
simple boxes and I can use rvu to generate a rendering for it.

Just now I tried to use the table.rad file got from Axel Jacobs' tutorial
and the objline still doesn't work. Moreover, there's an error message
showing in the Terminal:

*fatal - cannot open file "/usr/local/lib/ray/meta/vchars.mta", mode "r"*

I sense my Radiance has got big problem. What does this error message mean?

Should I reinstall Radiance?

What are the correct and detailed procedures to install Radiance on Mac OS X
Snow Leopard?

Thanks!

Ji
