[pstricks] \psSurface in \pst3d-solides

[Zbigniew Nitecki]

The following truly minimal code, which mimics example 7.3 in the (English) documentation for pst3d-solides,
> 		\begin{pspicture}(-0.5,-2)(3,3)
> %				\psset{lightsrc=50 -20 50, viewpoint=20 20 40 rtp2xyz,
> %					Decran=50}
> 				\psSurface[
> 					fillcolor=gray,
> 					axesboxed, 
> 					grid%
> 					]
> 					(0,0)(2,1)%
> 					{%
> 					x dup mul 3 y dup mul mul sub 2 div
> 				}
> %			\pstThreeDDot[linecolor=red](1,0.5,0.125)
> %			\pstThreeDPut(1,0.5,0.3){\textcolor{red}{$(1,\half,\recip{8})$}}
> 		\end{pspicture}

yields the following error:

What can I possibly be doing wrong here?
