[Radiance-general] misterious error

[Greg Ward]

Hi Giovanni,

I suspect that your test.rad (or materials.rad) file has a line of the form:

!some_script

that is hanging because it is attempting to read from the standard input.  Whatever script produced the ROPT= line is the one hanging up oconv.
