Hi,

I tried installing Povray 3.6 on Mandrake 10 by following the directions on
the installation page.  There were no error messages during the install
until I tried the test render and I get the following message:
  running test render...
../install: line 1312: 28814 Segmentation fault      povray
-iscenes/advanced/biscuit.pov -f +v +p -w320 -h240 +a0.3 $1

There is also a segmentation fault if I try to open Povray.  The full
install output is below.

I also have an NVidia Quadro card installed with the Nvidia drivers and I
had some problems with pymol and those drivers.
Thanks!

POV-Ray does not seem to have been previously installed
on this system.  The installation created a default
povray.ini at:

  /usr/local/etc/povray/3.6/povray.ini

which can be modified for individual requirements.

A new i/o restrictions configuation file has been created:

  /usr/local/etc/povray/3.6/povray.conf

See the documentation for how to customize the settings.

------------------------------------------------------

  The install script will now run a short test render
  to check if POV-Ray is correctly configured.
  This test render will be without display since this
  is will often not work correctly in superuser mode.

  Type 'R' to run the test
  Type 'S' to skip it.

Your choice ([R]/S): r

  running test render...
../install: line 1312: 28814 Segmentation fault      povray

Finished installing POV-Ray 3.6

This install script can also add some useful entries to
the KDE panel if KDE is installed.  Running:

  install kde

as a user will add entries for this user.
