povray installation
povray installation ( post #1)
Hi ! I'm new to Linux and I don't know anybody who knows how to use it properly. I have a problem with the installation of pov-ray. I'm using Linux mandrake 9.1 and i downloaded the pov-ray driver at the site of povray: povray.org or something like that, but I can't understand the installation readme file at all. They say I have to edit a file /src/obtout.h but I can't find it .I can't even find the "src" folder. Is it really important ? Then they say I must run ./configure in the folder of the file, but as I didn't find it, I can't. I tried to see if it wasn't an uninstalled package, but it doesn't look so. Please help me, and if you do, can you talk easily, cause I don't understand well english. Long life to Linux. Thanks for your help. vic |
It looks you downloaded the source package. In my opinion it would be much easier with binary one: you just need to unpack it and run installation script:
tar xvfz povlinux.tgz cd povray35 ./install You can download it from here: http://www.povray.org/redirect/www.p...x/povlinux.tgz |
Thanks a lot
:D
Thanks a lot !! I know I should'nt have reported my post to you, but nobody answered it. I'll go answer other questions , but is there anything I can do to help, like clicking on a commercial ? See you vic |
Rather not :) Don't report your own posts in the future - you may make a mod angry 9not me, but it's possible:) ).

Thanks but I've still got one question :
How can I launch the software , Cause I'm able to use it with K Pov Modeler, but I don't know how to launch the actual graphical interface. Thanks vic Long life to Linux |
I think that you can try this: open a terminal and then type
kpov It should start. If it works, create a shortcut in the panel or in the menus (or both). |
Thanks, but it doesn't work. Anyway I'm not trying to launch kpov modeler but povray.
See you vic Long life to linux |
