[cad-linux] Re: ayam can't find rgl and rendrib

the first thing you need to check is if BMRT is working stand alone.  export
the rib to a file.  and try to render that at a command line.
BMRT supplies two renders, rgl and rendrib.  rgl is a quick renderer that
ignores all of the shaders.  it does have a sketch option that i like.
rendrib is the primary tool in BMRT it's what does all the hard work.  cd to
the directory that contains the rib and at a command line run something like:
rendrib -d <file.rib>.  if you still get a "no such file or dir'" error then
you need to add the path to the bmrt binaries to the PATH statment in your
.bash_profile.

there are other options, but this is the first thing i would try.
or
2) make sym link from binaries to /usr/bin
or
3) copy the binaries to the /usr/bin
