I looked in the p.windows newsgroup after your earlier post and found that
thread. That does describe the same problem. I understand what you're
saying in that for the Windows version, you need to specify /RENDER or
you'll get the error I got ;)

That doesn't help Fabien's problem however because that's a Windows specific
solution. Even recompiling with the config.h change you suggested won't
help him because he's trying to make a program work with existing
installations of POV-Ray. Hopefully, using Input_File_Name instead of +i
will solve this issue for him or at least be a good workaround.
