When I run picl (on OS X), I get this message:

I've looked up the error codes and the most pertinent is
1228: unable to locate installation directory
Do you have a .htsoft.xml file in you home directory? It should contain something like:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<htreg>
<key name="picc">
<key name="lite">
<key name="9.60">
<key name="pl0" instdir="/Applications/HI-TECH/picc/lite/9.60"/>
</key>
</key>
</key>
</htreg>

I set the environment variable HTC_PICL to the appropriate installation directory (/Applications/HI-TECH/picc/lite/9.60) but that doesn't help. Could it be a permissions problem?
The HTC_PICL variable is no longer used. The HTC_XML variable can be used to specify an alternate htsoft.xml file, but that (and PATH) are the only variables you would need to change.
It could be a permissions problem if the XML file cannot be read, this could be the case if the compiler was installed as a different user to the one trying to run it?
I'd check your ~/.htsoft.xml file (or what file is specified by HTC_XML if set) to make sure it can be read and contains the correct contents (should have been written to on install). Let me know how you go.
