<FONT SIZE="4"><FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>You have a different error this time which either means you’ve either made progress and have a new problem or you have more clues to diagnose your original problem.<BR>
<BR>
Previously the you had:<BR>
... | rtcontrib -w -ffc -c -n 2 \<BR>
-f pool_coords.cal -o %s_caustics.pic \ ...<BR>
And the error was: rtrace: fatal - command line error at '2'<BR>
<BR>
So you deleted –n 2 <BR>
...| rtcontrib -w -ffc -c \<BR>
-f pool_coords.cal -o %s_caustics.pic \ ...<BR>
<BR>
And got the error: rtrace: fatal - command line error at 'pool_coords.cal'<BR>
<BR>
In both cases the error occurs after the –c option. I think radiance expects –c to be followed by an argument, which it is taking to be –n in the first case and –f in the second case. The following argument (2 or pool_coords.cal) is then interpreted as an option that doesn’t exist. <BR>
<BR>
Try putting a ‘1’ after –c :<BR>
...| rtcontrib -w -ffc -c 1 \<BR>
-f pool_coords.cal -o %s_caustics.pic \ ...<BR>
<BR>
And see what you get.<BR>
