[Radiance-general] Mac OS-X rpict problem?

[Mark Stock]

I am using the Radiance 3.6 official release Mac binaries to try
to set up a large cluster rendering. I wrote a runme.sh file to
control things. I pared it down when the first portion dies in
rpict.

First, here are the errors:

I ran the same set of commands, from a sh script, on my Linux P4
with no difficulties. We also tried rebuilding the binaries from
the 3.6 official release, but found the same errors.

The scene consists of multiple fractal nested octrees
(scene9f.rad), with the rest being:

Is rpict on Macs wrong, or is it my input?
