rpict can't find rayinit.cal

When I run this command:

rpict -av .3 .3 .3 -ab 0 -ad 512 -as 256 -dj 1 -dp 1 -dt 0 -dc 1 -lw 0.001 -x 300 -y 300 -vth -vh 180 -vv 180 -vp 19.115 6.058 1.189 -vd 0.000 -1.000 0.000 -vu 0 0 1 090_10-scene.oct

in the directory where 090_10-scene.oct is I get this error:

rpict: fatal - cannot find function file "rayinit.cal"

rayinit.cal is in my radiance /lib directory. I've tried adding radiance's /lib to PATH (already had /bin) and also tried just copying rayinit.cal directly to the /bin directory but none of these worked.

Radiance was installed by OpenStudio but I'm using Radiance on it's own now, just running this command to test something. This command worked when I was using Windows 10 but now I'm running lubuntu 14.04.
