Hi Glenn, 

What version of Shake are you using?  Shake 4.0 supports OpenEXR out
of the box.

If you're using an earlier version, you'll need to compile the Shake
plugin.  We only provide the source code for the plugin, not a
pre-compiled version.  

We do provide pre-compiled OpenEXR libraries for OS X.  They were
compiled with gcc 3.3 on OS X 10.3 (I think).  I'm not sure which
version of gcc Shake 3.x uses; if it's gcc 3.3, then I think you can
use the pre-compiled OS X OpenEXR libraries.  Otherwise, you'll have
to compile the OpenEXR libraries, too.

This thread from one of the OpenEXR mailing lists may help:

There are also lots of people on this list who are more knowledgeable
about Shake and OS X than I, so hopefully they can help you.  You
might also try posting to the address@hidden list, if you
don't get any good answers here.
