I'm very new to it.
I found no tutor about how to install it & test it.
My povray is an rpm package.
After I installed it, I know nothing about the next step.
Thank you.

Search for the html-docs. Something like
/usr/local/share/doc/povray*/html/index.html
There is a tutorial included.

With 'man povray' you can get some basic usage instructions including
information where the complete documentation can be found.
Please read the messages in povray.announce.frequently-asked-questions
concerning the cross-posting guidelines.

Hi there,
Thomas' idea is a very good one. If you are unaware of how to search
for the files installed by the povray rpm you can always type:
rpm -ql povray | less
from a console/terminal to see where the files are.
Regards,
Imran

I seem to be in the same boat!!! I DL'd povray rpm, and it actually
uncompressed into a folder rather nicely. Now I click install, and nothing
happens. Do I need to install from the Konsole? with extra typed commands?
I really want to use it, but hell I can't even get it to install.
TIA,
Dean

Like Thorsten mentioned in p.newusers you should ask the one supplying the
rpm for any problems concerning it.
The official version comes as a .tgz and includes installation script as
well as installation instructions.

Hello there,
Where did you get the rpm from? And how did the rpm extract itself into a
folder ?? you mean you just double/single clicked on the rpm package in
konqueror and it showed you a list of files ??
Just fire up a Konsole and do:
rpm -Uvh --force /path-topovray-rpm/povray.rpm
That should finish the installation and you can enjoy using Pov right away :-)
Oh, another thing... what version of povray is it? If it is 3.1 the command to
invoke pov would be: x-povray
and if it is 3.5betaxx (which I highly doubt) the command would be: povray
Regards,
Imran

I didn't think of p.newusers, I've been using it for windows for a while
now... and I am asking the "one supplying it", my mistake... I called it an
RPM.
I believe my question was, once I have a nice little povray31 folder, then
what do I do? But thanks for the help...
