  Linux with v3.1g (Message 1 to 5 of 5)

Hello All,

I had a copy of PovRay v3 working just fine in my SuSE (v6.1) Linux.
When I upgraded to PovRay version 3.1g, I get the following error:

Parsing....povray: error in loading shared libraries
: undefined symbol: __bzero

The paths are correct in the .povrayrc file and the library
libX11.so.6 does exist on the system.  I am using the x-povray version
of the program in KDE. I used the new 'install' utility to move the
files to the recomended directories.

I have used PovRay for DOS for a long time but am relatively new to
Linux.  Where do I look to solve this problem?

I had a similar problem with my version (mine segfaulted). My advice to
you is to compile your own version of Pov-Ray 3.1g. If you do it right,
it may even end up being faster than the pre-compiled version (it will
also work, most likely :) If you don't want to do that, I really
can't think of what you really can do, except run ldd <povray exec> and
see if anything points to a library that does not exist (or it is looking
for it in the wrong place).
<p>Good luck, and happ tracing,

I ran the ldd and the results were:

	libpng.so.2 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libpng.so.2 (0x40008000)
	libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0x40025000)
	libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x40035000)
	libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x4004f000)
	libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x400f4000)
	/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x2aaaa000)

All of these files exist on the system, but the problem persists:

Anyone else have any ideas?

You may wish to take a look in povray.unix on this server to see if someone
else has had similar problems and to see it a fix was provided for this
problem.

Hmm...what distrobution are you running? If you run slackware, that
may be your problem. I belive that slackware has runtime support
for glibc2, but it isn't very good, I get segfaults for most things
that use glibc2. So, you may want to find someone that'll have a binary
of glibc1 for ya (or, like I said you can try compiling it yourself).
<p>Hope that helps,
