I haven't had this problem in a long time... Bruno explained it to me,
and as I recall, you're basically missing PTOptimizer, I think, which
means you've installed pano12 incorrectly (I think?).

It's possible there's an error in my installation instructions, but
I'm not quite sure what is missing as optimization works just fine for
me.

My instructions would have installed PTOptimizer into /usr/local/bin,
check that you have it. I'm not sure if hugin will need a recompile to
tell it where PTOptimizer is, or if just putting it anywhere in your
$PATH will fix the problem.
