Hi

I'm trying to compile povray 3.5b (does b mean BETA? I've downloaded 
the latest) and I'm having some problems. two of them I've solved 
(I'll put them in the end)
but I can't get around the third one. here's the error I get:

-----------------------------------------------------------------

I've tried compiling against various versions of libtiff (the 
one that comes with solaris-gnome-1.4, solaris-gnome-2BETA, 
ximian-gnome, and solaris freeware). sin
ce I'm not a programmer I can't figure out what it means.
I'm using solaris 8 on sparc with gcc 2.95.

As for the other two, one was the optout.h error (which I've 
found an answer in this news group), and a wierd error in the 
doc/html/images directory (which I've s
olved by removing the doc entry in the SUBDIRS definition in the 
main Makefile). here's the error:

-----------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------

any ideas?
