[Radiance-general] Resolution Mismatch in Rpict.

[Greg Ward]

Hi Andrew,

This error sounds suspiciously like a communication problem between 
rpiece and rpict, since the resolution string is the first thing rpiece 
tries to read back from rpict.  I'm sure it doesn't have anything to do 
with the octree or the -x and -y options or where they appear.  Does 
rpiece die right away, or only after it's done some work?  What 
machine(s) are you running on?  Rpiece talks to its rpict process over 
a standard Unix pipe/socket, which should be reliable.  I'm quite 
puzzled by this error -- has anyone else on the list gotten this before?

-Greg
