Hi James,

i downloaded POV-Ray Source Code here
http://www.povray.org/download/index-3.6.php
and update the source files of povray subdivision
from(http://www.cise.ufl.edu/~xwu/Pov-Sub/).

i used the following command
../configure COMPILED_BY="your name <email@address>" [options]
  make check
  make install

but after installation subdivision is not working.

Thanks
Suman

Did you notice any errors or warnings from either the configure or make 
process?

not working how ... does it even recognize any of the keywords 
associated with the subdivision patch?

unless the subdivision patch is a /must/ you should consider moving to 
version 3.7 ... here's a summary of what's changed:

yeah ok then ... i'll ask again not working how? does it even recognize 
any keywords associated with the subdivision patch ... do you even get a 
complete render?

when i run povray without subdivision code like
mesh2 {
 vertex_vectors {
 .....
}
then i can see image online. and when i use the subdivision code like
mesh2 {
 subdivision{     // subdivision
        substeps 2    // subdivide 2 times
 }
 vertex_vectors {
 .....
}
then image not comes.

you're not being specific enough ... does the program complete 
successfully when subdivision is used

its necessary because online renderer taking lots of time on server. and i did
not get complete package of povray with subdivision. may be some error in
subdivision files. therefore i am not able to generate image.

You should definitely try running the subdivision patch from the command 
line first, before trying to call it from another program.

Are you sure /usr/local/bin is where POV-Ray/subdivision installed 
itself? Maybe it's some other previous install of official POV-Ray 
that's residing there, and POV-Ray/subdivision is located somewhere else.

But to figure that out you definitely have to call it from a 
command-line shell.
