When attempting to install the Linux version I got the following message-
"This machine does not seem to be a Linux PC. This version only runs on an X86
Linux machine. You can force installation by .... etc." I have looked through
the TAG stuff on Unix and could not find anything I could understand. The
machine is a 64 bit AMD running OpenSuse 11.2. Is the 64 bit the problem? I did
not want to risk forcing the installation without knowing more.

You need to at least say what version of POV-Ray you want to install, and
where you downloaded it from. Your message suggests you have some binary
version of POV-Ray?

The version is "POV-Ray 3.6 for PC - Linux binary version" ( povlinux.tgz)
downloaded from the Linux section of this website.

That is only 32 bit indeed, so unless you have everything installed for 32
bit compatibility, it is better to use the source version (also on the
website) and compile it yourself.

I will attempt that. I expect it will take me a day or so to get organised. I
will let you know what happens.
Thanks, Tetraboss

So that's why I couldn't install Pov-Ray on 64 bit Ubuntu

You can also just use Yast. Yast -> Software -> Software Management ->
Search -> "pov" will bring up povray. Check the box and click "Accept". I'm
not sure if it installs the 32 or 64 bit version.
I'm running the 64 bit version of OpenSuse 11.2 on an AMD 64bit (socket F)
machine and used the above method. From the following, I assume it's the 64
bit version that installed.
Persistence of Vision(tm) Ray Tracer Version 3.6.1 (g++ @ x86_64-unknown-
linux-g
nu)
This is an unofficial version compiled by:
SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Nuernberg, Germany
The POV-Ray Team(tm) is not responsible for supporting this version.
POV-Ray is based on DKBTrace 2.12 by David K. Buck & Aaron A. Collins
