Got 1 SIGINT.  

Is all I get.
This is on a custom-compiled megapov on Solaris. Oh, and I switched of
Antialias in the ini-file.

Anybody else getting this problem?

Thanx

Is the ^C actually there?  Control C.  Maybe a bad part of code in that
source...?  I'm a stagnated Winder user, just wanted to note that "Rendering..."
part and if it were manually stopped or not.

Yes, that ^C is my own one, just to get my shell back.
I am picky about my shells :-). Pov mustn't keep them

Works fine for me. Actually I interrupted after the second frame.

Command line was 
xmegapov +D +P +H300 +W300 +L/usr/local/lib/povray-31/include
mediaphot.ini 

No .povrayrc in home directory or elsewhere.

megasrc3 compiled "out of the box" via make xwin. No modifications
to the makefile nor any sources.
gcc 2.8.1 on SunOS 5.7 (Solaris 7) on Sparc.

The scene is mostly black, so maybe you haven't waited long enough?

BTW: I think antialiasing WAS switched off already in the
     distributed ini.

Yeah, if I hit ^C, it gets a SIGINT and closes.  I'm going to have to
implement better signal handling ;-)

Seriously, though, how long did you leave this? I'm rendering this as I
speak, and at the rate it's going, it will probably take me a couple
hours for all 30 frames.  The first 60 or so rows are completely black.
This may give the incorrect impression that nothing is happening.  How
long did you let this chug away before you sent it SIGINT? How fast is
your box?

Sorry folks and thanx to all those who have replied.
I was to quick, and pov to slow.
I checked back with size 100 and it went fairly well. Now all I have to
do is to find out, which of my compiles is faster :-)

To the signal handling:
The ^C was not the last thing I got from pov, so the signal handling
seems to be ok. It gave all rendering statistics etal.

Bye
