On ubuntu amd64, with "povray --benchmark"

Parse Warning: gamma_correction not specified or inferred so is turned 
off for
  compatibility with this pre POV-Ray 3.7 scene. See the documentation 
for more
  details.


May be the benchmark scene can be updated to avoid that warning ?

Trace time on amd3500+ (old!): 9 minutes 29 seconds (569.449 seconds)

It's worth keeping in mind that the benchmark code has a fair bit of stuff
disabled (back from the early days of the beta). It might be worthwhile
starting out with a fresh copy of the benchmark file from 3.6 and only
changing the minimum necessary to make it work well with 3.7.

  Btw, when I try the benchmark like that (on OpenSuse 11.3), it fails to
render with the message:

File '/tmp/pov7021.pov' line 141: Possible Parse Error: Cannot find file
 'functions.inc', even after trying to append file type extension.

  If I #include "functions.inc" in a regular file and render it with
POV-Ray 3.7, it finds it ok, so it's not a problem in configuration.

  I have no idea. It has been a really long time since I last tried.

  Note that I didn't *install* povray. I just compiled it and moved the
executable to my home directory bin directory. It works ok like that
(when I configure ~.povray/3.7/povray.ini properly). I don't know if
that's the source of the problem. (The benchmark should definitely work
regardless.)
