This isn't too hard. Frustrating that it doesn't work out of the box tho :) A quick look into the install file yields the answer: script is pointing to the wrong paths...
I have supplied a patch which works for me on ubuntu 9.04 with povray package installed(3.6.1) trying to install megapov-1.2.1 It simply modifies the expected install paths, and changes the shell to bash(because in my installation, /bin/sh is dash, and it doesn't handle read -n) Instructions: simply download the megapov "linux installer", patch it, and run the install. ie. tar xf megapov-1.2.1-linux.tar.bz2 cd megapov-1.2.1 patch < ../ubuntu9.04_megapov_install_patch_fixed.diff sudo ./install ** Patch added: "patch for the megapov installer." http://launchpadlibrarian.net/40984971/ubuntu9.04_megapov_install_patch_fixed.diff -- Feature request: Compatibility with Megapov https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/187138 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
