Building of the latest unix povray-3.7.0.beta.38 works fine on a 32 bit
architecture, however it seems there is a problem on a 64 bit platform:
"make" will not link in the "unix" folder due to a missing library.

It turns out that indeed -lboost_thread-mt is missing in the LIBS
list.  Adding it by hand allows to finish the "make" and then everything
works fine.

It seems that there is something wrong related to the "configure" stage...

I verified this problem on a clean Fedora 13/Fedora 14 linux install on a
64 bit architecture with all the required "boost" libraries present.

I do believe this has been discussed (and resolved) in the beta-test
news group

Thank you for pointing this out.  I checked that newsgroup and added
