[Radiance-general] Question concerning genprism

[Zhe Kong]

Hi all:
I’m learning Radiance and ran into an issue concerning genprism. According
to the book, I typed down the command below. Whenever I tried to oconv the
material1.rad & stool_1.rad, it gives me errors below. Someone using Linux
system can fix the issue by setting the PATH environment. I already set the
PATH, RAYPATH, and MANPATH in both .profile and .bashrc. I’m wondering if
there’s any other way of solving the problem.
Thank you in advance.
