Go ahead and check the sources for the urandom file (using grep). I
would suspect that since ANSIrand is not an automatically loaded package
(you said that you had to install it manually), you have to configure
your environment accordingly. [With UNIX-types, always assume that you
have to mess around with your environment.]
I would also suggest that you use the $RANDFILE for simplicity.
The Linux version automatically uses the /dev/random file, because that
file comes standard with all later versions of the kernel.
