Hi group.

I compiled the Linux source for beta 29. I'm using Ubuntu Desktop 8.04 (i386
version). I've read the changelog, but I can't work out if the render window
has been completely disabled or just defaulted to off.

I've checked all the povray.ini files I could find, but they all contain
"Display=On". On the command line I've tried adding "+d", "+D0T" and "+D0G",
but they don't work either.

Could someone set me straight? I miss my render window. :)

Thanks.

See the output of the configure script, maybe it didn't find X headers and
didn't compile the preview window feature.

Thanks for the reply. Looks like you're right: I seem to be missing the X
headers and a bunch of others too. It's a wonder the code compiled at all.
