makeOct1axis function throws file not found error when Radiance is not installed #430

I was trying to run the bifacial_radiance Python package for the first time today, and got the following error:

After discussing it with Silvana on teams, it turns out I wasn't following the install instructions and needed to install Radiance.

Fix the error message to notify users that they may need to install Radiance if this function fails.

This is fixed now by pull #537 in Main. It should go into our next release post 0.4.3 - either 0.4.4 or 0.5.0 depending on which one we get out first...
