Hi,

i have installed the new POVRay 3.6b1 on my German Win2k SP4 on P4 1.8 GHz 
224 MB RAM.
After rendering some scenes from scenes/advanced i try to render 
balcony.pov. 
-> A parse error occure at table_stuff.inc in line 95:
	Cannot open include file bglass.inc

Is this a bug or did I have overseen something / some setting?

Zan

PS.: Nice to see a pdf version of the documentation. Made with 
pdfTeX-1.10b... Which LaTeX packages were used?
Plain? Komascript? Other?

Here the head of the TeX file.  The content is all automatically generated
from a common base HTML format we have adopted back with 3.5.

PS: We are still looking for somebody with hints for a package that contains
enough smart logic to do intelligent wrapping of links and some of the very
long keywords.  Given the size of the documentation, it isn't feasible to
manually perform any tweaks...

Greetings!

I have installed the released version of POV-Ray 3.6, and this problem still
exists.  Where, oh where, is that pesky little "bglass.inc"?

just rename glass.inc. there was a glitch in the way the files were submitted
to our version control system. it will be rectified in 3.6.1 (out in a few days
or so).

Sorry, but that does not work.
a Glass object ( as "object { Glass ..." ) is expected later in 
table_stuff.inc.

A real include file seems to be missing.

Why 3.6.1, why giving up the letter... what about 3.6b ?

He meant the glass.inc from a prior installation, as with version 3.5, where
it exists as glass.inc in POV\scenes\advanced\balcony\. Perhaps you thought
it were the POV\includes\glass.inc file instead? If so, that's the reason.

They've chosen to follow the  major.minor.patch  method of version
numbering. Probably most for simplicities sake.
