The user manual covers the various graphics features by using them rather 
intensively.  If you remove the chapter on Graphics from the file "all" 
(ie delete the line "@Include {gra}"), lout -p then works successfully. It 
is aimed at rendering rather simpler documents (obviously any graphics are 
deleted).

Cheers, David.
