hello!
I have one problem with POV running under Linux (SuSE). When I try to render
one scene, POV send me this message:

rad2.pov:11:error. Cannot open include file colors.inc.
Check that the file is in a directory specified wirh a +L switch)

I don't understand 'cause I add this line in the *.ini
...Library_Path=....INI item, but declares no found...

what's solution?



thanks!

This is going to require some debugging.  I don't have enough
information at this point (I can find colors.inc on my machine).  Try
specifying the path on the command line, just to narrow things down. 
Triple-check your .ini or .povrayrc or whatever.  Make sure the file is
actually where you claim it is, and make sure that it's readable.  There
are lots of possible causes, and not all of them involve bugs.



Currently there are a number of unofficial GUI front-ends out there. 
There will be an official one eventually (it's on my moderately short
list, with 3.5 being on my very short list).

  Try adding a line like this in your povray.ini (in the current directory;
or .povrayrc in your home directory):

+L/complete/path/to/your/povray/include

  I have had this problem as well but this works for me. Don't know the
specifics of this problem.

One idea is that if you've edited the .file or rc file from 
Windows or DOS you might have some ^M characters in there.

You can use emacs with syntax highlighting, there's a macro for 
this at:

http://www.acc.umu.se/~woormie/povray/

I have a simple menu system for Rxvt, it's on my website in the 
Linux Stuff section and if you don't like my solution there are
a couple of others around (though I havn't lookd at them).  

What I like about Linux is that I can create my own working environment
just the way I like, and don't have everything imposed on me by
the OS or by the people who write the applications that I use.

hmmm,  I really gotta get the next version out... it will add 
quite a few nice things, but will not be quite complete...
The things I have added/changed so far are (cut from the changelog,
and including stuff not yet working...):

;;    Added povray-font-lock-faces.
;;    Made sure font-lock works properly on:
;;        XEmacs 19.15p7, 20.0, 21.1p10, 
;;        Emacs 19.29.1, Emacs 20.7.2
;;    Added all 3.1 keywords except track, since I don't know what it
;;        is, I have also dropped the 3.0 specific keywords that 
;;        shouldn't be used anymore, megapov to be added...
;;    Fixed some completion stuff, I'm sure not everything is added 
;;        correctly, but I think most things are.
;;    Added configureation for all faces. To bad I can't get the
defaults
;;        to work properly on dark backgrounds (at least not in xemacs), 
;;        I don't know why that is.
;;    Added a toolbar, it replaces to standard XEmacs toolbar, I think
;;        that is the best thing to do, but I retain the standard useful
;;        functionality, and add rendering and showing images, I will
add
;;        different qualities too.
;;    Fixed an error in the external viewer, it used variables that were
;;        not available in the same scope as the sentinel.
;;    Added basic imenu support, currently only #local and #declare,
;;        but I will try to add objects, cameras and lightsources later.

hmmm, this will be somewhat redundant (not completely, at least not
with the first realeases versions) when I release povmode v. 2.5
it will be redundant when 3.0 gets out (sometime this winter, if
I don't get to bored with school ;)

I've toyed with the idea of producing an emacs InsertMenu for POV, 
based on the windows version of POV, with the ability to  change the 
default data that's inserted.    

I'm going to write a perl script that generates the insert menu because
I can imagine my future including voluntary commitment to an assylum if 
I were to write that much lisp code. 

It'll be great once the tags are working, I don't seem to be having any 
luck so far with using bookmarks in emacs, possibly compounded by the 
fact that I use RCS all the time.

The GUI is something I am really looking forward to.
I am an escapee for the windows world, and I still feel that it's a real
hassle to switch between consoles.
As for (X)Emacs, it is so complicated that it puts off many beginners (
myself included).
I know that many of linux users might feel offended but.....

  You can use emacs as a gui (just download povmode.el somewhere).

  I use emacs (with povmode) to just edit the povray files. I render in the
xterm and it's not difficult at all to switch between emacs and the xterm.

  If you are curious, my desktop looks like this when I'm povraying:

Why not use X? that is waaaay simpler...

XEmacs is much easier than Emacs, thanks to the menus and the toolbar,
but 
the configuration is not an easy thing to do, but with some patience
it's
possible to get a very easy to work with setup, that is also very fast.
But if you are in console, then you don't get the menus or toolbar, so
that
might reduce your liking of XEmacs, I know I dislike it when not in X
;).

> I know that many of linux users might feel offended but.....
make that unixusers, and if any of us get offended then I'd say he/she
isn't quite cut to help people out, and they pretty much should just
shut
up and do something else (like making nice images).

My guess is that it's not very much lispcode that needs to be written,
just some basic code for inserting a certain string at the cursor. The
hard part is to write a good startingpoint for the stuff to insert,
unless
you do the easy thing and rip the windowsversion ;)

I'm actually uncertain if I would like an InsertMenu, but if you get 
something working I will take a look and see if I can add it too
povmode,
and possibly add configurationoptions for it, unless it's easier to use
a normal (lisp)file.
