Hi Everyone-

First I'd like to say "Thanks" to the Povray team, Pov is AWESOME!


I am trying to get the UNIX version of povray running on a MacPro (Intel
Xeon). Povray compiles from source and generates images with no problem.
Running from Xterm it traces an image and prints out the ASCII image on the
Xterm screen.   MegaPov also works with no problem. I prefer the UNIX
version but I can't get the X-Windows render window working.

I would like to get the Povray X-Windows Render preview working.  I have
installed Apple's version of X-Windows and it runs Xclock and Xterm with no
problems.

The Intel version of X-Windows for Macintosh seems to have the header files
in the "Developer SDK" directories and not in the same place as they were
for the Power PC version. I have tried adding
/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/usr/X11R6/include/X11/
to the directories in "configure" but with no success.

Can anyone suggest somethig else to try?



When I configure Povray I get:

checking for sin in -lm... yes

checking for vga_init in -lvga... no
configure: SVGAlib display will be disabled

here is the problem.

===============================================================================
POV-Ray 3.6.1 has been configured with the following features:
  I/O restrictions: enabled

Type 'make' to build, and 'make install' to install all files in the
