Lots of scary things flashed by, and i caught various warnings going by. It then stopped with "There were some errors." So I tried an rtrace job that I know runs on 3.9, and it still runs. But when I add the -n option (-n 2 or -n 4, for example), it crashes with a fatal error: command line error at -n. (It's a four core machine with 4gb ram)

As several people mentioned, you're missing some build-dependencies.
Running
apt-get build-dep radiance
should install them for you.

Or just install radiance from the packages which are distributed with Ubuntu:
apt-get install radiance
Also you might want to look at the descriptions of radiance-sse3, radiance-doc,
radiance-materials.
Ubuntu 9.10 should ship with radiance 3R9, Ubuntu 10.04 with 4R0.

Cheers,

Bernd
