I was trying to download MegaPOV 0.6a, but when I clicked on the link, it
appears to be broken.  Who should I contact about this, and does anyone
have a copy of it I could use? Thanks!

Why do you want 0.6a? And what link?

Hmm, I'm pretty sure what I compiled under OS X was 0.7...
Maybe this page:
http://members-proxy-5.mmbrprxy.home.net/ceckak/mpov07/
I couldn't get it to load, though.

I couldn't get it to load either.  Is it anywhere else?

I downloaded the archive listed, but there was no make file,
configuration script, or anythign, just the source.  Is there another
copy floating around somewhere that is packaged better? Thanks

Untar:

$ tar -xzvf mpov-0.7.0.tar.gz

Go into the unix directory within the untarred directory:

$ cd mpov-0.7.0/unix

Then build the package:

$ make

Then I think you need to be root:

$ su
Password:

# make install
# exit
exit
$ cd /usr/local/bin
$ ls -lh xmegapov
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root         1.1M Jun  8 14:33 xmegapov
$
And there's the executable.

Get POV3.1g sources, and copy the MegaPOV ones upon 3.1. Edit the 
Makefile, adding the files which where not present in the 3.1 build, and 
make the beast. Even without having seen POV sources before, I managed 
to have a wonderful 0.6a working on my Linux box in less than 2 hours.

Bye!!!
