I've been using POV-Ray or its predecessor DKBTrace since 1991 (on Linux
since 2000, Digital Unix, Solaris and Amiga before that). Version 3.5.

Hi, Uncle Ken!
After *MUCH* trouble and a bad memory module, I finally got Debian
3.0r1 Linux (kernel=2.4.18-bf2.4) up and running along with win98
(win95b would install, but not run. ;-{ ) on my newly built Pentium
IV-2.4Ghz. POV3.5 installed on both sides.
Been a POV-addict since '99. Very new to the Linux world, using
POVlinux.tgx from povray.org.
// -----------------
Just loaded this group, looking for tips/fixes. POV can't find local
*.inc files when run from X/KDE. From terminal, it can't find
/../pov../include. ??? Got povray.ini and .povray.rc files
*everywhere*!!! ??? With posts back to 2000, the answer must be here
somewhere!! <G> 1715 posts left to read!!

Did you check your I/O restriction settings and do you have your library
paths set up properly? As a non-*.nix user those are the only hints I can
offer.

Thanks, Uncle Ken.
Looks like the POV I/O restrictions are set right, my personal files
are another story. I'll have to track down the 'paths' thing.
I did get Pyvon installed and running, had some trouble finding a
package that should have been 'required' by the Python 2.2 package
(Debian is very picky, except this time!!).
I had to use a CD to copy *my* scene files from my P II machine, so
everything is read-only, having to go thru it all and set write
permissions. What a pain.<G> (my ignorance of Linux doesn't help.)
My eyes are bleeding from reading so much documentation. :-)
Sloooooowly getting there. But, I gots kidneys<pointing to head>, so
I'll figure it out or ask the experts.<G> May have to fire up the old
Apple II to rest my brain-cell a little!!
I've always wanted my machine to boot into POVray, then run win95b
when needed. Assuming this survey is positive, will that be the object
of a new POV / *nix project? <G>ear<G>

Just tried terminal mode/command line, rendered
.../scenes/advanced/balcony/balcony.pov. Ran fine, did it in 4min
50sec @ 512x384(took over an hour on my old P II, @ 320x240), and even
showed the stats (which it didn't before).
In Pyvon (v1.3, X/KDE) it still can't find the 'glass.inc' included
from 'table_stuff.inc', but looks like it is using a 'povray.ini' or
'.povrayrc' from somewhere.
Anyone know where I should look for the problem? A setting in Pyvon?
(I'm new to Linux, so please don't just say, "check *all* your *.conf
files". I feel 'lost' enough now!!)
Thanks.
I won't post this (OT) prob' in this thread again, I'll start a new
thread for any more questions [which I should have done to begin
with!!<G>]. I'm following a couple other older threads(in this NG)
about similar problems.

I had a similar problem at one time, the cause was having old library
path lines in my .povrayrc file, I still had lines for 3.1g and this
caused terible probles just like the ones you're describing, so I suggest
that you take comment out your 3.1g lines and put new ones in to reflect
the upgrade to 3.5, here's what I have in my .povrayrc in the library path
section:
;; Library_Path=/usr/local/lib/povray31 ;; (+Ldir)
;; Library_Path=/usr/local/lib/povray31/include
Library_Path=/usr/local/lib/povray-3.5/include
Library_Path=/home/sjlen/pov
;;Library_Path=/home/sjlen/povincludes
As you can see you use a double semicolon to comment a line out. So the
only lines that POV is reading from the ablove are:
Library_Path=/usr/local/lib/povray-3.5/include
Library_Path=/home/sjlen/pov
And I think that if you're reading the .pov file from a read only device
then you need to specify the output directory and file name on the command
line (and I think you can do this in the .povrayrc file aswell), such as
$povray -i/dev/cdrom/pov/money.pov -o./money.ppm
See 5.2.2.3.2 in the povdocs it says you can use Output_File_Name= in your
.povrayrc file so something like:
Output_File_Name= /home/sjlen/pov/newrender.ppm
Hope some of that helps.

SuSE Linux 8.1 for about 4 months (since a disk failure
forced an upgrade)
Started using PovRAY shortly afterwards, from the binary
linux package on your site. The install needed tweaking
to make sure /usr/local/etc existed btw.
Can't seem to compile from source on this distro, but haven't
spent too much time on it.
