It is the "Interfaces&Libraries" folder, you can always get the most recent
version of Universal Interfaces (basically header files and stub libraries)
from <http://developer.apple.com/sdk/index.html>.

No problem, I should have checked the MPW makefile before releasing the
source code.  The thing is that MPW MrC compiles have always been a mess to
set up, CodeWarrior is easier to use and allows to forget about such issues
like header files at all (also this is not always good) by using precompiled
headers (which is also faster when compiling complex projects like POV-Ray).

But I have to admit that I really do not know why the casts and function
calls in lighting.c should not compile, the only idea I can come up with is
that you have some ANSI C or strong error checking option activated.

BTW, you should not be using MrC 5.0.0d1c1, this is definitely a bad idea
(especially with MrC where they are still fixing the parser to support full
ISO C++ using a "developmental", meaning pre-alpha version is a bad idea).
You should use MrC 4.1 (the current final version of MrC) and once you get
there, you should also make sure you are running the final PPCLink in case
you are not.

No, povray.programming is the right group.  For all practical purposes the
source code is unsupported anyway, so there is no way to report compiling
problems as bugs :-)
