Help needed - Vray won't render

[Alixanne]

Hi

I am having a repeatedly very annoying problem with V-ray 1.48.89 osx for Sketchup 8.0.3161. Basically it won't render any scene that has any actual geometry in it, and after freezing sketchup for 10 minutes or so I get an error message back:

"we have encountered error(s) while trying to render. Please check error log for more details."

I have coppied the contents of my error log below. Any help I could get with this would be appreciated!

It does this even if you just have a scene that has nothing in it but a box?

Re: Help needed - Vray won't render

yes... I just tested that in a new file, with a new box, and I got the same error message.

An empty scene with a box causes this? No textures, no materials added, just a box? Does your computer use . or , for decimal separation in numerical input?

Re: Help needed - Vray won't render

Yes, an empty scene, with a new box... just the default material. And no, the computer doesn't use a comma instead of a decimal point. I am running Mac OSX 10.5.8
