I am running POV-RAy 3.7 and I get this error when I try to Render a .pov
generated by eagle3D. The eagle3D version is 20110101.

Please help I am new to using POV-Ray and I have no clue where to start.

   Not many Eagle3D users here, I guess... I played with it a while back,
but don't remember much about it.

   You could start where the error lies: line 56 of the file
"e3d_tools.inc". Look for a non-common character there... maybe it's not
visible and looks like a regular space. I don't understand German, but
this thread seems to be about the same exact problem, and seems they
resolved it:

   Hope this helps... regards,


P.S.: BTW, this was not the proper group for this question... it would
fit better into povray.general or povray.newusers (I guess that one is
where you wanted to post the question).
