Hi all: Has anyone tried to install povray debian package and run it on either a 32bit machine or a chroot on amd64? I would like to embellish with povray a series of lectures. I tried on a 32bit etch debian machine. Apparently it installs correctly, however I was unable to get command lines accepted. Asking help the povray unix support, after a series of suggestions and failures, the answer was that the debian package is broken:
>Please download and install the *official* POV-Ray for Linux distribution >to replace the broken Debian package: >ftp://ftp.povray.org/pub/povray/Official/Linux/povlinux-3.6.1.tar.bz2 >Download the file above, unpack with 'tar xvjf povlinux-3.6.1.tar.bz2', >cd to the newly created directory, run the 'install' script and follow the >instructions. You should then be done with a working povray binary. ? I guess the problem is not a broken package, rather undertsanding correctly the indications on /etc/povray/3.6/povray.conf and adopting in the HOME povray.conf equally restrictive, or MORE restrictive, positions.
