[Radiance-general] Upgrading to R4: "There were some errors."

[Thomas Bleicher]

Hi there.

One thing I could see in this shortened output:

rhd_x11.c:11:23: error: X11/Xlib.h: No such file or directory
rhd_x11.c:12:29: error: X11/cursorfont.h: No such file or directory
rhd_x11.c:13:24: error: X11/Xutil.h: No such file or directory

You don't have the X11 development package installed. Search for a
package like "X11-dev" or similar and install that.

You should probably do a
sudo ./makeall clean
sudo ./makeall install

After that you can add another "makeall clean" to remove files from
the process. Unfortunately the makefile doesn't have a 'build' target,
so you could restrict the sudo to just the installation step.

Use the following to capture the output into a file:

sudo ./makeall install | tee build.log

That will copy all the output to "build.log" and you can inspect it
later in detail.

Have you checked that you are actually running the new 4.0 version?

rtrace -version
