The icons for Windows will have no bearing on a Linux installation.

Display is normally available under X - I use that when rendering images
myself:
povray +I3logos_base.pov +d +W800 +H600 +AM2 +A0.2
The "+d" enables the display.

I've used it a few times myself - have had a few problems with the
lighting looking right - which version of Blender and povanim are you
using? (Wondering if maybe there's a newer version that I'm missing - I'm
on Blender 2.41, but the povanim plugin might be out of date)

I've had this too on self-compiled Povray binaries. Got no compilation
errors, it just seems that some libraries I had (under RH9 and FC3) weren't
of the correct versions or something. Using a stock binary is usually
faster (for me at least, it seems) and it can display, so I probably won't
compile it myself again.
I. e. your problem could be your libraries, if your commandlines are set up
correctly.

You get Text mode display - this means either no other display is
detected at runtime (not running on X, no $DISPLAY defined) or you have
not compiled POV-Ray with other display support. The configure script
reports you which display systems are included. if X-Window isn't
detected you need to check if you have the development files of the
X-Libs installed.

Thank you very much for all your informations. I will try them.
Stephan : so offcial binaries better than self compiled ( even with 64 bits
?)
But Ubuntu only provides povray 3.5...
Jim : now I'm using Blend2Pov, it's really, really nice, just click render
to render !
I hope that futur official releases of Blender will get closer and closer to
povray integration. With this blender's patch I can now render only with
povray ( and radiosity), images are so,so better.
As soon as I have so time, I will try to make my povray's display
working......
thank you
Milovann

Ubuntu is a Debian-based distribution, and so is the POV-Ray they include.
The POV-Ray 3.5 distributed by Debian contains broken extensions and it is
*no* official version of POV-Ray. Unofficial versions of POV-ray have to be
supported by those who distribute them, not by the POV-Team. It is clearly
stated every time you start POV-Ray if that version is an official version
or not, and who is responsible for supporting it.
To download the official version of POV-Ray, go to www.povray.org .

Thanks, good to know - I didn't even know about that tool, so I'll check
it out.

I am using Kubunu 5.10 and don't have a problem seeing the rendering window
during rendering.
A general piece of advice from the linux experts in my local LUG is to avoid
any and all software that isn't in a repository. I really like that advice,
and with ubuntu, you really don't have to worry, because it's got some of
the more-well stocked repositories of any of the distros I've tried. It
beats SUSE by far, which is the only other distro I'd recommend for
permanent installation.
I believe it is quite unfortunate for the povray pages on linux not to guide
folks to the repositories.
If you add this to your sources file, you can see povray and get it that
way:
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy multiverse
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy multiverse

Not for linux newbies.
I can vouch that povray (from the ubuntu multiverse repository) works fine
on one kubuntu 5.10 box.

In my experience. I've tried to compile 3.6 myself quite a few times, but
never could get it to display. Don't know if you'll find official 64 bit
binaries of 3.6, take a look at the Pov site. Plus, I've always ended up
with binaries a bit larger than the official ones, and it seems a bit
slower (probably due to my optimisation settings not being up to scratch),
so yeah, I think using the official ones is the best. (At least for me).
But then, I run the 32 bit ones, no idea what you're going to have to do
for the 64 bit ones.

Not very much. Considering that you have the right libs and such installed,
all you do is ./configure, make, make install and you're all set.
I run 64bit smp-Suse on top of an Athlon dual core and it works like a
charme. Beside speed the one major advantage is the memory limit. That has
vanished into the grey distance :)
