I just downloaded POV 3.6 on my iBook G4 running OX X 10.5.2
After starting up POV, I created a new file and pasted a sample file
from a tutorial into it:
#include "colors.inc"
camera {
location <-2, 3, -10>
look_at <0, 5, 0>
}
plane { // the floor
y, 0 // along the x-z plane (y is the normal vector)
pigment { checker color Black color White } // checkered pattern
}
sphere {
<0, 5, 0>, 2
pigment { color White }
finish {
reflection 0.9
phong 1
}
}
light_source { <10, 10, -10> color White }
light_source { <-10, 5, -15> color White }
I put the focus on the file, but when I go to the Render menu,
the Start Render command is grayed out. I can't figure out why.
What am I missing here?

I've dug into other threads and discovered MegaPOV. Having downloaded
and installed it, I find that it renders just fine. I wonder what is wrong
with POV? I assume that the problem is with the GUI; it is as if the
framework does not realize that a file is open and active. Anyway, on to
MegaPOV.

Yes, I see that. IMHO the default should be that this option is disabled.
