I get the impression that the Mac binary for POV-Ray is for Power PC
systems, an I have an Intel-based Mac, so I presume that I should get one
of the POV-Ray sources and compile it on my system. But should I use the
Mac sources or the Unix sources? I have X11 installed, should that be
required. My GCC version is i686-apple-darwin8-gcc-4.0.1.
Any advice would be appreciated as I am new to Macs and am learning my way
around. I have been using Fedora Core and have run POV-Ray there and on a
Windows box. I don't mind using a command-line-only version of POV-Ray if
necessary.
Thanks.

No, like all Mac OS X compatible applications, it also works on Apple Intel PCs.

You can just compile the Unix sources. You do not have the software
necessary to built the Mac sources.

OK, that's good to know.
Thanks for your help.

Like Thorsten said, it will run on Intel based systems but Rosetta was
not designed to run an application like POV-Ray.
It is very slow.
You can compile a command line version yourself but you could also use
MegaPOV which is a new universal binary which will run very fast on
Intel-based or PPC based Macintosh computers.
And it has a nice GUI (editor, templates) as well.
You can find it at:
http://megapov.inetart.net
Go to the download page and search for the Mac section.

Not necessary ;-)

Thanks, but according to the web page at that address, POV-Ray must be
installed in order to use MegaPOV.

Only to be able to use the include and scene files, that is the only
reason.
