Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I just tried all that you mentioned and sadly none of
them worked :(

The strange thing is, on my old linux workstation everything worked as it
should but on my laptop, is where I'm having the problems.

Is there a place where I need to tell povray to use xv as the image viewer?
Or is there someplace else (on linux) where I need to make xv my default
image viewer?

If this helps, here's a snippet from my rendering log:
