can't find shaders

[Randy Heiland]

Hello,

I've installed the non-commercial 21.5 (on OSX Sierra) and when I run:

$ prman -dspyserver /Applications/Pixar/RenderManProServer-21.5/bin/it.app/Contents/MacOS/it sphere3.rib

where sphere3.rib is:

version 3.03
#ErrorHandler "print"
#Display "test.25.pic" "file" "rgba"
Display "sphere2" "it" "rgba"
#Display "sphere1.tif" "file" "rgb"
Format 320 240 1
Projection "perspective" "fov" [30]
# Translate Camera (moves world origin 6 units towards +Z)
Translate 0 0 6
WorldBegin
LightSource "ambientlight" 1 "intensity" [0.2]
LightSource "distantlight" 2 "intensity" [1.2]"from" [0 0 -6]"to" [0 0 0]
# Define a red plastic unit sphere at 0 0 0
Color [1.0 0.0 0.0]
Surface "plastic"
Sphere 1 -1 1 360
WorldEnd

I get the following warnings, with a white sphere rendered in "it":

S01001 {WARNING} Cannot load shader "ambientlight". [<Loading Shader>] (System Error: No such file or directory)
S01001 {WARNING} Cannot load shader "distantlight". [<Loading Shader>] (System Error: No such file or directory)
S01001 {WARNING} Cannot load shader "plastic". [<Loading Shader>] (System Error: No such file or directory)

And commenting out these shaders in the .rib, I simply get a white sphere.

Suggestions? Thanks!

That's because Reyes/RSL was removed in RenderMan 21.x onwards. Your example renders fine in 20.12.
