                        Section 6.2.3.2
                         Library Paths

       Library_Path=path          Add path to list of library paths
       +Lpath                     Same as Library_Path=path


POV-Ray looks for files in the current directory. If it does not find a
file it needs it looks in various other library directories which you
specify. POV-Ray does not search your operating system path. It
only searches the current directory and directories which you
specify with this option. For example the standard include files are
usually kept in one special directory. You tell POV-Ray to look
there with...

  Library_Path=c:\povray3\include

You must not specify any final path separators ("\" or "/") at the end.

Multiple uses of this option switch do not override previous
settings. Up to ten unique paths may be specified. If you specify the
exact same path twice it is only counts once. The current directory
will be searched first followed by the indicated library directories in
the order in which you specified them.
