I've been running the latest povray using the MacPorts distribution method, and
everything was working fine until I updated all the packages using selfupdate.
Now povray crashes every time I run it, regardless of the input file, with error
message "Segmentation fault: 11" appearing last.
Here is what I get simply by invoking "povray" from the command line:
------------------------------------------------
povray: This is a RELEASE CANDIDATE version of POV-Ray. General distribution is
discouraged.
povray: cannot open the user configuration file
/Users/hernlund/.povray/3.7/povray.conf: No such file or directory
Problem with option setting
povray
No input file provided
Segmentation fault: 11
------------------------------------------------
I also get a "Segmentation Fault: 11" when I include an input file, regardless
of the simplicity of the scene (e.g., just a simple sphere). Below is a typical
output when I run povray on a .pov file:
------------------------------------------------
povray: This is a RELEASE CANDIDATE version of POV-Ray. General distribution is
discouraged.
povray: cannot open the user configuration file

Segmentation fault: 11
------------------------------------------------
Anybody have any ideas what has gone wrong? Is this a bug I just discovered by
running selfupdate in MacPorts? Could it be an issue related to not finding a
povray.conf file in the directory it is looking in?

The problem seems to be the missing povray.conf file.
Maybe it's absence is what's causing the seg fault.
