I am a graduate student in Wayne State university here in detroit, usa.
i am trying to install a pvmpov on to our sun workstations and keep
getting errors, which made me quite frustrating for the recent several
days.
so, i just wonder if you could give me some help.
My questions is:
1)to intall the pvm patch, i run the inst-pvm command to put the patch.
but, the system give me error messages like:
line 328 should start with a '+', ' ', '!'
then it just bailed out.
do you know what could be the problem?
2) I took a look at the patch file.
found out that the patch will compare the difference between the
original
povray3 source file and the pvmpov source file.
the problem is, there is not even a pvmpov3.1 directory came out from
the
pvmpov3.1.tgz file.
what could that be?
could you kindly give me some help?
i will really apprciate that.
thanks.
Ling

I don't really know which PVMPOV you are using, so:
for use with PovRay3.1e use the patch provided on
http://www.luga.de/~flierl/pvmpov/
I didn't apply it yet, but heard no trouble here. The pvmpov for povray
3.0 used to be called pvmpov3.1 as well, if I remember right, so there
may be confusion.

Hi,
I have tried both the 3.1 and 3.0 version.
I can not even get the patch correct.
Did i make some silly mistakes?
I followed the instructions that i could get. after download the povray and
pvmpov..
put them in the right place...
and....run the inst-pvm....
then i got the problem.

Are you familar with compiling the official POVRay? I didn't try the
PVM patch for POVRay 3.1e so far, but I successfully used the patch
for 3.0. At this time, it helped me a lot to compile a unmodified
version first. By this, I learned which libraries, paths, and other
compiler settings to use.
I hope this helps.
