  If the problem is that dialux is not running povray correctly, you will
probably find more help in a dialux support forum, unless someone here has
first-hand experience on dialux.

  Anyways, it could be helpful if you could describe in more detail how
you are trying to run povray in your situation.

thanks for your answer! ;-) i open my projecti with dialux and then i go
file->export->raytrace with povray. the problem is that it appears to load
povray and then it suddenly stops. and i cannot find .pov files, only .ppm

Note that ppm is a (rather exotic) image format supported by
povray so maybe everything is working as it was once intended.
If dialux generates ini files or a command line, look for
"Output_File_Type=P" or +FP and change P to N to get PNG,
or use a viewer that can show/convert ppm.
