[Radiance-general] can't get the PATH, RAYPATH and MANPATH set correctly

[Joe Smith]

Hi, Ehsan, yes, I also tried using "*sudo pico ~/.profile*", but the
problem is still the same:

No feedback when I typied "which gensky" in terminal, although it is in the
folder /usr/local/radiance/bin ...

Any advices?
