High!

After already having deleted the unpacked source files, I gave it a last 
try... and this time, I really installed ALL boost packages before (and 
the system partition is still far from flowing over)! Compiling, make 
check and make install worked (almost, a few warnings were displayed) 
perfectly, also the test render...

And I thought I was once more the hopeless ever-ignorant Windozed 
consumer sheep (baaaaaaah!)...

Now I just wonder where is the display mode switch...

See you in Khyberspace!

Congratulations!  Now you get to find out if your computer's cooling system
really works.  ;)  I look forward to seeing what you can do with it.

Welcome to the club. It's easiest to install under Linux. BSD still requires
some tweaking to compile.

Hmmm... just typing apt-get install boost* is somewhat of brute force 
method - about half a gigabyte will be downloaded and, after 
compression, even more disk space is lost! Three weeks ago, with an 
already clogged system partition, this way of doing it led to my system 
crashing completely...

But as long as new-made harddisks are affordable even for the poorest 
tenth of society (which includes me), this might be the strategy of choice!

But... with some essays on peak oil I've read recently, I ask myself how 
long this can go on... what about a thread "Peak oil and the future of 
raytracing" on povray.off-topic?

See you in Khyberspace!
