[Radiance-general] NRL radiance-5.0.a.6-Darwin.dmg trad/tcl incomplete installation

[Terrance McMinn]

Must report that "trad" does not run as installed by the 
radiance-5.0.a.6-Darwin.dmg OSX installer.

Issues:
1. $ -bash: /usr/local/radiance/bin/trad: /usr/local/bin/wish8.0: bad 
interpreter: No such file or directory

     Fixed by sudo vi /usr/local/radiance/bin/trad and change the first 
line to "#!/usr/local/bin/wish8.5" as that is what is installed on my 
system.
2. Error in startup script: invalid command name "helplink"
     while executing
"helplink .mess trad trad messages"
     (file "/usr/local/radiance/bin/trad" line 104)
     Fixed by:
     a) downloading the source code 
(https://github.com/NREL/Radiance/releases)
     b) create folder  with " sudo mkdir /usr/local/radiance/lib/tcl"
     c) copy files from the source tree to the new folder
         cd /usr/local/radiance/lib/tcl
         sudo cp ~/Desktop/Radiance-5.0.a.6/src/util/*.tcl .
         sudo cp ~/Desktop/Radiance-5.0.a.6/src/util/*.hlp .
         sudo cp ~/Desktop/Radiance-5.0.a.6/src/util/*.icon .
         sudo cp ~/Desktop/Radiance-5.0.a.6/src/util/tcl* .
         This put the following file in the new folder:
             do_action.tcl       do_results.tcl    do_zone.tcl 
gethelp.tcl    trad.hlp
             do_file.tcl            do_scene.tcl     file.hlp        
help.hlp        trad.icon
             do_options.tcl     do_views.tcl      getfile.tcl 
tclIndex        util.tcl
     d) sudo vi /usr/local/radiance/bin/trad
         change "/usr/local/radiance/bin/trad" to "set radlib 
/usr/local/radiance/lib/tcl"
