Folks,
The Linux source for 3.7 (currently marked beta 25b) is now available via
our beta source page, http://www.povray.org/beta/source/. Please be sure to
read the INSTALL included within the archive if you intend to build it.
regards,
-- Chris

oh, I got too excited that didn't even remember I have only

oh, well, the source may be entertaining enough!

Hi,
already compiled it in a x86_64 GNU/Linux box, but still some bugs around.
Most critical one for me is that even tough I have 64G RAM and a 4 quad-core
Xeon, I get a "Fatal error in renderer: Out of memory." due to some problem
with interiors. Does anyone know about the status of this bug?
Anyway, SMP works perfectly!
Cheers

I can't find a full, up-to-date list of known bugs. Perhaps the best thing to do
would be to start a new thread and post a minimal scene to show the problem.

This is not a bug, it is an internal buffer that trades speed for memory
limits. It should not be needed, but a better solution is complicated and
time intensive to implement.

Could the reaching this limit be detected and a better error message be
shown? Now it looks just like a regular "out of memory" error while it
really isn't, as it's a particular special case. Perhaps a more informative
message could be better in this situation.

I said a better solution is possible, did I not? ;-)

Sample scene please?

Not sure if this is the right location to post this...
I managed to get it compiled on a quadcore system running Fedora 8, though it
took a while to figure out that I had to configure with the option
"--with-boost-thread=boost_thread-mt"
Test render during compilation worked fine, but when I went to render some old
scenes I had laying around I would get the message:
"Timed out waiting for worker thread startup"
If I keep running the command it will eventually work, but I generally get the
time out message instead of parsing and rendering.
I decided to try beta binary and got the same thing.
Seems like it should be something simple, but I don't know where to start.
SMP worked fine when it would actually render.
