it should, yes.. - but i still get the same error, that
it cannot write the output file:

----
Creating light buffers....
File Init Error: Writing to /tmp/test.png is not permitted.
Check the configuration in /usr/local/etc/povray.conf or ~/.povray.conf.
----

the docs are not really up to date, it seems; and i am
unsure whether turning i/o restrictions off works at all,
and i slowly start getting the feeling that noone except
me ever uses povray on unix.. :(

did you try that config yourself? can you actually render
images?


TIA,

g.
