If you're using label3d, then it might be an issue with imagemagick.
My guess is the newer linux boxen are using a version of imagemagick >
6.0 that doesn't obey the following command in label3d (around line
127):

   convert -draw "matte 0,0 replace" ${tmp}_label3d.png ${tmp}_label3d.miff

change this to:

  convert -fill none -draw "matte 0,0 replace" ${tmp}_label3d.png 
${tmp}_label3d.miff

although it could be something else...

I modified molscript to use an autoconf/automake environment that
should figure all this stuff out for you, if you'd rather.  just
google povscript+, if you're interested.
