OK, the lights are on, the phones are workin'. Let's try this again.
So, I got Francesco's binaries working. Folks, I have no idea what happenned to my RAYPATH. But I put a line for it back into my .profile file and it worked. So, of course, I then uninstalled the whole thing because I'm stubborn and want to compile the source, darn it!
I (believe I) removed all traces of Radiance from the /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/lib/ray folders, essentially starting from scratch. Schorsch, thanks for that tip on redirecting the output to the file, it worked a treat. (BTW, I *had* to use the second iteration "makeall install |& tee log.txt" so that I could answer the prompts).
Got errors again, but after combing through the log they all center around a few things during the compilation of the holodeck stuff. Here are all the errors (I ignored warnings for now):

and, of course, the dreaded:
There were some errors.
I now have 113 binaries in /usr/local/bin/ray, but the binary package at radsite contains 135, I believe. So, I guess I'm close, but no cigar. Any ideas?
