checking whether the Boost::Thread library is available... no
configure: error: cannot find a suitable boost thread library

- same as before.

The version for Ubuntu 13.10, g++ version 4.8.1:

checking whether the C compiler works... no
configure: error: in `/home/yadgar/povray-3.7-stable':
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details

Why is this all so [beeeeep!] complicated?!? I'm about to contemplate 
whether I should change to a 64-bit Windows XP system rather than 
Linux... but I do not want to be online under Windows!!! And my wohnklo 
(German colloquial for "tiny little apartment") is too small for two big 
desktops!

See you in Khyberspace!
