Oh, I am sorry.  I assumed you are because a lot of beginners seem to be
playing around with MPW because it is free (at least that is the
impression I get on the MPW mailing list).   Basically 3.1g does not
compile out of the box because I changed the Pict image support in the
for 3.1g and did not adjust the makefile.  It would be possible without
messing around with frame.h, but there seems to be too little interest
for an MPW makefile so I never completed it...

The reason is simply that you CW Pro 3 comes with older header files for
the operating system.  You can get Universal headers 3.1 from Apple and
merge them with the ones of CW Pro 3 and all will work.  You should not
use the Universal headers 3.3 because POV-Ray will not compile with
those (because of some Carbon header change issues).
