I just recently edited my rayrc only to find I screwed something up.
When I batch render I get this error.

MI 0.0 error 121001: C:/Program Files/Alias/Maya6.0/mentalray/maya.rayrc, line 13 syntax error

Info: <mental ray> : number of render threads:2
Error: <Mayatommr"Export> : mental ray startup failed with errors

So I open my rayrc and line 13 is this.
$lookup "{MAYABASE}"

I don't know I haven't touched my environment variables since 6.0 was released,and didn't move any folders.

try to invert the $lookup order at the end of the rayrc...

That didn't work. Would anyone know why this line is appearing as a syntax error and how to resolve it. This didn't happen before I added a line for AUX_LIB and GG_Mray_shaders.

You are missing a $lookup for AUX_LIBS.

Also, PD_START is wrong. You are first setting it as a simple variable and then you are re-creating it as a list of shaders. Either remove/rename one or the other.

Finally, mrLibrary should not be part of PD_START. The whole idea is that that is a separate auxiliary library that is loaded first.
