[Radiance-general] water any news ???

[Andrew McNeil]

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.

Previously the you had:
 ... | rtcontrib -w -ffc -c -n 2 \
            -f pool_coords.cal -o %s_caustics.pic \ ...
And the error was:   rtrace: fatal - command line error at '2'

So you deleted –n 2
...| rtcontrib -w -ffc -c \
            -f pool_coords.cal -o %s_caustics.pic \ ...

And got the error:  rtrace: fatal - command line error at 'pool_coords.cal'

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.

Try putting a ‘1’ after –c :
...| rtcontrib -w -ffc -c 1 \
            -f pool_coords.cal -o %s_caustics.pic \ ...

And see what you get.
