Hello All,

I had a copy of PovRay v3 working just fine in my SuSE (v6.1) Linux.
When I upgraded to PovRay version 3.1g, I get the following error:

Parsing....povray: error in loading shared libraries
: undefined symbol: __bzero

The paths are correct in the .povrayrc file.  I am using the x-povray
version of the program in KDE. I used the new 'install' utility to
move the files to the recomended directories.

I ran the ldd and the results were:

	libpng.so.2 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libpng.so.2 (0x40008000)
	libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0x40025000)
	libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x40035000)
	libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x4004f000)
	libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x400f4000)
	/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x2aaaa000)

All of these files exist on the system, but the problem persists:

I have used PovRay for DOS for a long time but am relatively new to
Linux.  Where do I look to solve this problem?

Basically, I'm learning that nobody who isn't running the latest version
of Red Hat can run binaries compiled under the latest version of Red
Hat.  I'm working on getting a version compiled under a different
distribution, but I'm afraid I picked the least user-friendly
distribution out there (guess which one), and I'm not having much luck
getting it to compile.  In the meantime, the best thing to do if you're
not running Red Hat 6.0 is to grab the source and compile it yourself. 
Sorry for the inconvenience; I had no idea my upgrading Red Hat would be
such a headache for everyone else.

I figured it was something like that... I have dumped the 3.1g and
re-installed the earlier 3.0? and everything works fine!

  Everything? Have you tried #macros or file-i/o?
