Hi folks,
First of all fantastic bit of software you have here ...
Trying to install povray-3.7.0.RC3 on OS Ubuntu 64-bit 10.04
I followed the INSTALL text file and had a look around but I cannot seem to find
a solution to my problem...
I tried the following:
1. I unzipped the source in /home/jpebe/dphil/apps/povray-3.7.0.RC3
2. I configured using:
../configure COMPILED_BY="JP <...@inhibox.com>"
--with-boost=/usr/local/boost_1_46_1
--prefix=/home/jpebe/dphil/apps/povray-3.7.0.RC3/
3. make check install #without sudo since I have write permissions in the
prefix dir
4. This annoyingly fails with this error message:
Creating data directories...
Copying data files...
Creating documentation directories...
Copying documentation files...
Creating user directories...
chown: changing ownership of `/home/jpebe/.povray': Operation not permitted
chown: changing ownership of `/home/jpebe/.povray/3.7': Operation not permitted
make[2]: *** [install-data-local] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/mnt/jpebe/dphil/apps/povray-3.7.0.RC3'
make[1]: *** [install-am] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/mnt/jpebe/dphil/apps/povray-3.7.0.RC3'
make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1
Mind you - I am logged in as user "jpebe", and the install part is the problem.
5. I did the chuck norris thing here and fired a "sudo make install" and the
installation than goes through...
BUT this is what I get:
~$ povray
povray: This is a RELEASE CANDIDATE version of POV-Ray. General distribution is
discouraged.
Segmentation fault
~$ /home/jpebe/dphil/apps/povray-3.7.0.RC3/bin/povray
povray: This is a RELEASE CANDIDATE version of POV-Ray. General distribution is
discouraged.
No input file provided
Can anyone explain why is this? And can we have better error messages than
"Segmentation Fault" ?
Many thanks, awaiting eagerly anything which will get me a working povray
installation,
JP
