Thanks, guess they need to have a note somewhere saying the makefile is
not in the default directory.  I got it to work, thanks again!

Yeah, that's what I did, only automating it a bit. As I couldn't get
GCC output the list of dependencies, I diffed the ls of 3.1 and
megapov and then cut & sed it into something worth copying & pasting
into the makefile. Took me less than it took you in time but probably
twice as much in nerve.

Strange, I didn't have any problems building it just the way it was. 
I'm on RH 6.2 upgraded from 6.0.

How?! The makefile provided doesn't include the files added in
MegaPOV.

From the makefile:

#*  Jun-99 : Modified by Mark Gordon to add make install, Linux
#*           optimization flags, -c flag to touch, platform-specific code 
#*           all moved to the top.
#*  Nov-99 : More cleanup by Mark Gordon to fix install, SGI flags
#*  Dec-99 : Modified by Mark Gordon to accomodate megapatch, add all target, 
#*           and bulletproof.
#*  Jan-00 : Modified by Mark Gordon to add mblur2 and postproc
#*

Sounds like megapov stuff to me. 

You are looking in the Unix direcory aren't you, (as in the example shell
commands that I posted for David)?

Err, there ain't no Makefile in the source dir so yeah, I was looking
in the Unix directory.

Backtracking, I think we are talking of two different things, and it
is mostly my fault. I am talking of getting the MegaPOV 0.7 sources
from Nathan's site and extracting them over the official 3.1 sources,
and you are talking about...?

The link that I posted for David: 

http://perso.enst.fr/~jberger/mpov/mpov.html

Hosted by "Jerome M Berger" I think.  Mega 0.7 for Linux.
