[Radiance-general] beginner's installation problems

[Guglielmetti, Robert]

Hi Carolin,

Did you end up having to use the manual build process? I thought our NREL builds of the Radiance source supported Mac all the way back to 10.6; if not, I'll have to look into how we might support earlier versions.

Carolin,

Ah, I see it now. The NREL Radiance installers are for OSX versions 10.7
and 10.8. The "Illegal instruction" error means that the compiled binaries
use instructions that became available only in OSX 10.7.

Your options seem to be: Upgrade to 10.7, or install and build Radiance
manually. Check out this page for instructions:

Sorry about the incompatibility. We're here to help with the manual
installation.
