I was trying to install PyMol using fink, but it fails the povray

I had the same problem but it was machine dependent - what I did to
solve it was install an older version of Povray (3.1 ???) using FINK
and then fink install Pymol 0.86 - then it ran fine as the X-windows
version
The compile of Povray 3.5 for some reason fails but it seems to
depend on what else you have installed on your machine. On my new
machines that have a clean 10.2.3 running on them, and a clean FINK
installation, there's no problem.
I have run into problems in the past with certain FINK installs
balking based on some other thing that is installed... Difficult to
track down - I just end up with the "Failed to make with error.."
message.
