Thanks, exporting PLAN9 at a suitable place seems to have helped.

Still, only if you can tell (I will test it at some point anyhow), is
1) rc binary
2) rcmain
3) suitable setting of PLAN9 variable
enough if you want to pass your rc script to somebody
who does not have p9p installed?
(Say, I wrote some rc scripts and now other people want
to use it...)

Thanks
