Thanks for shedding light on this, Greg. Since trad won't run on Windows, and 
the NREL Linux "packages" are nothing more than tarballs of the executables and 
library files, the only package that could benefit from this effort is the Mac 
one. Furthermore, since OpenStudio doesn't rely on trad for anything, this is 
pretty low on my TODO list, but it IS on the list. =/

Hi Terrance,

It's remarkable that you were able to sort this out without aid.

There's already a fairly sophisticated installation script written for trad, 
which gets triggered by "rmake install" in the src/util directory.  I wouldn't 
know how to replicate this using cmake, unless it can call the same script.

I updated this to work with wish8.5, but if it isn't run on your system, I 
guess it won't work.  You can call it outside rmake using:

csh -f tradinstall.csh $(INSTDIR) $(LIBDIR)/tcl

where $(INSTDIR) is the Radiance executable directory and $(LIBDIR) is the 
Radiance library directory on your system.

Rob and I will figure out how to get this working on the NREL installers.  
Thanks for alerting us to the problem!

Cheers,
-Greg

Cross-posting (and we should move the discussion to) dev...

Thanks Terrance! Looks like I have some more files to include in the CMake 
files, so our packages work correctly, thanks for the catches. As for item (1), 
it seems like the right move there is to have Greg change the shebang line to 
call "wish", and place the onus on the users to have a symlink for wish that 
points to whatever they have on their systems.

Let's sort it out on dev when we have time. Thanks again for the heads up.

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"
