Their current beta apparently expired on march 19 though so who knows where you can get anything to try. Of course since you can't seem to get current source code of the development tree, only release versions, it would be silly for anyone to waste their time on 64 bit fixes when upstream is already doing that in their next version and supposedly already has it working for 64bit, except not released to the public yet. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: PovRAY - Where are you?
Quoting simon wise <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: I can remember using PovRAY to do benchmark testing back just before the AMD64 port became part of the regular Debian platform set. Anyone know why it isn't available now. for licensing reasons (it's license is too restrictive for Debian 'main') it's in 'non-free' rather than 'main' simon non-free only has extra files, documentation and include files, but not the binary. It´s just not there for amd64. It builds correctly, but crashes with complex scenes. Cacho.

At least for me, it segfaults while rendering complex images on amd64. Gudjon I. Gudjonsson wrote: > Hi again >Excuse me for mailing you again.

Re: PovRAY - Where are you?
Hi again Excuse me for mailing you again. I downloaded the sources and compiled them and I don't see any problem with povray on amd64. I have never used it but it compiles perfectly and seems to work. Please test it too and if it works, it should enter the amd64 distribution again, I think. apt-get source povray cd povray-3.6.1 fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage Hope it helps Gudjon On Wednesday 25 April 2007 22:59:40 Gudjon I.

I had not used povray in a while, therefore I was not aware of the bug until I saw Francesco's question. Good to know that I can indeed fall back on version 3.5 if I should suddenly need povray again.

In fact I used pvray to bench mark the performace difference between a 32-bit system I had and my new 64-bit toy :-) The answer was about 40% quicker and my 64-bit is not tuned yet - I need that second bank of memory. I presented those result to the local LUG in a talk on going 64-bit. One slid held two pictures, one generated on a 32-bit system, one on the 64. You could't tell them apart. > I tried on a 32bit etch debian machine. Apparently it installs > correctly, however I was unable to get command lines accepted. I've not had a problem with povray-3.5. the version in sid. This is the version output for a quick test I did just ran to check (it took about 5 secs to render). Persistence of Vision(tm) Ray Tracer Version 3.5.0c-10 (Debian x86_64-linux-gcc) This is an unofficial version compiled by: Jeroen van Wolffelaar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for Debian (www.debian.org) The POV-Ray Team(tm) is not responsible for supporting this version. The debian packages page[1] shows that this same version is available for amd64, i386 & powerpc. If you want I can e-mail you that test file (7.1K) and the povray.ini file as well to you to test the set up your end. I hope this is more useful than the stuff to got from the povray team. However, I am a bit worried I too have missed something as all I am really saying is "here go install povray-3.5 it works". Have I missed some new "must have" feature in 3.6?

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.
