Dear All

I have a problem.
When I completed compiling povuni_i.tgz,povuni_d.tgz and
pvmpov-3.1-patch.tgz, On my machines pvmpov file is no in
povray31/sources/pvm/LINUX directory.
I keeped on the Pondermatic Doc.

I was followed step bye step :
1. Download the UNIX sources for Povray version 3.1e from
http://www.povray.org . These consist of two files povuni_s.tgz and
povuni_d.tgz.
2.Download the PVMPOV patch file and store in your home directory.
3.Create a directory called pvmpov3_1e_1 in your home directory using the
mkdir command.
4.Copy the povray files into the pvmpov3_1e_1 directory and untar them. This
will create a directory called /povray31.
From your home (cd ~ to get back to it) directory untar the PVMPOV patch
file. Change into the /pvmpov3_1e-1 directory.
5.Apply the patch by executing the inst-pvm script.
6.Change into the /pvmpov3_1e_1/povray31/source/zlib directory to compile
the compression library. First run ./configure followed by make test. Now su
to become the root user temporarily and type make install to install the
library. Type exit to become the normal user again.
7.Change into the /pvmpov3_1e_1/povray31/source/libpng directory to compile
the png library. Create the makefile by issuing the command: cp
scripts/makefile.std makefile. Type make test. When complete, issue the su
command again and type make install. Type exit to become the normal user
again.
8.Change into the /pvmpov3_1e_1/povray31/source/pvm directory and modify the
pvm.h file by changing the line "#if defined(SUN4SOL2) ||
defined(your_pvm_arch)" with "#if defined(SUN4SOL2) || defined(LINUX)".
9.Make sure that the PVM_ARCH variable is defined by typing "export
PVM_ARCH=LINUX".
10.Temporarily add the pvm library directory to your search path by entering
"export PATH=$PATH:$PVM_ROOT/lib"
11.Now start the compile by entering "aimk newunix" from the
/pvmpov3_1e-1/povray31/source/pvm directory. When complete the PVMPOV
executable will be in the /povray31/sources/pvm/LINUX directory. Copy this
to your main home directory. Run "aimk newsvga" and "aimk newxwin" to
generate the SVGA and X-windows versions respectively.
12.Now repeat this on the remaining machines.

Thank you very much for your help.
