Your compiler is enforcing the modern rules of C++...
and without a cast operator, an object cannot be compared to a boolean.

Have a look at
https://github.com/LeForgeron/povray/commit/3035a03209781218f0dd78c1584fdcd13e2d314d
for a fast patch (one more line) to be fine.

Alternative would be to replace all "XXXXX == false" with "!XXXXX" but
it is far more heavy and make code less readable (but works, because
operator!() is defined in code).

Best regards :-)
