Hi Greg & the gang,
I thought I had gotten everything set up correctly with my linux test render box but today I've run into a strange problem with Maya. We've encountered at least one, possibly several, Maya scene files which when trying to produce an .mi export for rendering with MentalRay standalone fails... unless you're an admin (or possibly just local user) on the machine. I've disabled SELinux (which I'm still not completely familiar with) to no avail. It also appears that users cannot write into /var/tmp.
When I did my initial test renders (granted, of a much smaller scene) everything worked fine, and I've had my Nuke installation on the same box working flawlessly for weeks now. Is there some quirk of Maya2011 installation and setup on linux that I'm missing, or something unique to CentOS 5.5?
I've attached the render long but I don't know if it will help. I've been banging my head against the wall with this. Which of course means it has a simple answer.
Please help,
-Dan
