I couldn't get that shader to work. Any suggestions?

I followed the explanation and did exactly the same. (I use maya on mac os x)

MAYA:

l_glass.dll {Maya program dir}mentalraylib
l_glass.mi {Maya program dir}mentalrayinclude
AEl_glassTemplate.mel {projects dir}maya6.0scripts
render_l_glass.xpm {projects dir}maya6.0prefsicons

Add two lines to maya.rayrc (mentalray-directory):
link "{MAYABASE}/lib/l_glass.{DSO}"
...
mi "{MAYABASE}/include/l_glass.mi"

Mental Ray does not start with rendering at all. Error message appears: can't fin .../lib/l_glass.so
I realized that the files in the lib-folder have the endings: .so and not .dll (as the file in the shader package) i changed the ending to .so without success (wrong file error).

Does anyone have an idea what I can change? Thanks

Changing the extension from .dll to .so will not work. You need a version of this shader compiled in a machine with OSX, but it seems the available file is for Windows only .

I know it's been forever since the last post up here, but I was wondering if there was ever a version of this made up for Mac OS X. I'm running 7.0 version of Maya Unlimited and would love to use this if possible. If not, any suggestions? Working on my Masters thesis here. Would love something that looks really good. (http://animation.mousemanproductions.com to see what I'm working on.)

Thanks.
