I installed a local version of boost 1.38 (in /usr/local/...)
then configure povray with

--with-boost=/usr/local
(and --disable-io-restrictions, but that's a personal taste)

No problem. (and yes, I'm on ubuntu amd64, currently 9.04)
Now, beta 34 has expired...

I compiled and installed Boost 1.40.0 as a regular user on a shared cluster, so
the installation was a bit more involved.  Like Le Forgeron, below, I found it
necessary to ./configure --with-boost=[path to lib directory], as well.

You can read the detailed instructions for this somewhat unusual installation on
my wiki to see if any of it helps.

http://wiki.waggy.org/dokuwiki/povray/shamu_install

The POV-Ray installation instructions are near the bottom, at step 5.

I am installed boost 1 39 0:

     configure
            ./bootstrap.sh --prefix=/home/tony/installed
--libdir=/home/tony/instaled/lib
     ./bjam install


and the povray installation:

     cd ~/src/povray-3.7.0.beta.34

../configure COMPILED_BY="Your tony <ema### [at] tonyes>" \
--prefix=/home/tony/installed \
--with-boost=/home/tony/installed \
--with-boost-lib=/home/tony/installed/lib \
--enable-static

make check install

as it given notice that expired I made:

    cd ~/src/povray-3.7.0.beta.34/source/backend
cp povray.h povray.h.orig

and

Change line 128 in /home/tony/src/povray-3.7.0.beta.34/source/backend/povray.h.

  #define EXPIRE_AT       (1243807200 + DAYS(366))


All right. I have compiled and running "povray-3.7.0.beta.34"

Thanks all.

But when rendering no start window-render, it make in console mode.
Is there any way to display the render while has it doing?

AFAIK you need to have the X window development packages installed when 
running POV-Ray's Configure script.

If you have the X11 devkit installed, it should be detected
automatically by configure. (unless --disable-x11)

Now, that kind of devkit is not installed by default (no use of it for
running x11 applications, the runtime are enough), check the output of
configure about its detection.

Good work, Tony!

From your original post, it looks like you don't have the SDL libraries
installed.

> checking for sdl-config... no

From INSTALL.TXT, it looks like that is indeed what you need for the preview.

- SDL version 1.2 or above (used for the display preview)
  http://www.libsdl.org

I hope this helps.

Hi waggy:

I have first configured as follows:

../configure COMPILED_BY="tony <nto### [at] terraes>" \
--prefix=/home/tony/installed \
--with-boost=/home/tony/installed \
--with-boost-libdir=/home/tony/installed/lib \
--with-x \
--enable-static

and gives this output:

.....
checking X11/Xlib.h usability... yes
checking X11/Xlib.h presence... yes
checking for X11/Xlib.h... yes
checking for XFlush in -lX11... no
configure: X Window display will be disabled


After I installed SDL-1.2.13 on /home/tony/installed and I reconfigure:

../configure COMPILED_BY="tony <nto### [at] terraes>" \
--prefix=/home/tony/installed \
--with-boost=/home/tony/installed \
--with-boost-libdir=/home/tony/installed/lib \
--with-libsdl=/home/tony/installed/include/SDL \
--with-x \
--enable-static

and gives the same output:

.....
checking X11/Xlib.h usability... yes
checking X11/Xlib.h presence... yes
checking for X11/Xlib.h... yes
checking for XFlush in -lX11... no
configure: X Window display will be disabled

After I reconfigure adding:

--x-includes=/home/tony/installed/include/SDL \
--x-libraries=/home/tony/installed/lib \

and gives the same output.

Do you know why?

That is odd.  In your original post, it seemed to be giving up on X Windows a
bit later...

I apologize I probably can't help with this.  I gave up on X support for now,
since it really isn't needed (and could be counterproductive) for the system I
compiled the POV-Ray beta to run on.

I hope you can find a way to get it working without too much more trouble.
