Hello

I have installed povray on my Macbook Pro using macports:

$port installed |grep povray
povray @3.7.0.RC6_0 (active)

but when I want to render scenes, I get an error message:

Cannot allocate PNG data structures

which indicates that something is wrong with either my version of libpng or
something. The installation of povray changes the libpng version from 1.4.5_0 to
1.5.13_0. I have tried to Google this, but nothing really useful came up.

Any ideas?

Thanks
