hello
I can't open a rendring window when calculating image.
Do you know how to resolve that?
i'm using linux 2.6.32-30 generic (lucid 10.04) under Amd64 dual core.

from the command-line do: povray -version

Built-in features:
   I/O restrictions:          enabled
   X Window display:          enabled (using SDL)
   Supported image formats:   gif tga iff ppm pgm hdr png jpeg tiff openexr
   Unsupported image formats: -

you're looking for the X Window display information ... if you don't get 
that you need to check out the read me with the source build 
instructions and rebuild with lib sdl package installed. If you're 
getting the proper info (like above) ... are you using +d comman line 
option?

so that means that you do /NOT/ have libsdl package installed ... 
there's a link in read me to get those files or maybe your linux app 
repository has a package for download ... at any rate you'll need to get 
that installed somehow and do a rebuild ... configure /should/ detect a 
proper libsdl installation

good luck
jim

Lucid is ubuntu LTS.
It does work on LTS.
As Jim quoted, you need to install libsdl (and that means the
libsdl*-dev version, at least to configure & compile)

If you want openexr as well, it's something like libopenexr-dev ;-)
