the first thing you need to check is if BMRT is working stand alone. export the rib to a file. and try to render that at a command line. BMRT supplies two renders, rgl and rendrib. rgl is a quick renderer that ignores all of the shaders. it does have a sketch option that i like. rendrib is the primary tool in BMRT it's what does all the hard work. cd to the directory that contains the rib and at a command line run something like: rendrib -d <file.rib>. if you still get a "no such file or dir'" error then you need to add the path to the bmrt binaries to the PATH statment in your .bash_profile. there are other options, but this is the first thing i would try. or 2) make sym link from binaries to /usr/bin or 3) copy the binaries to the /usr/bin --- Honest to Goodness <h2g@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > I have ayam installed in /usr/local/ayam on my Mandrake 8.2 system and > everything seems to work fine except rendering.
