===============================================================================
POV-Ray 3.7 for PC-Linux, binary version (povlinux.tgz) - README file
For the binary distribution for PC-Linux
===============================================================================
This is the README file for the compiled version of POV-Ray 3.7 for
PC-Linux. Platform specific instructions for POV-Ray can be found in
README.unix and in chapter 1 of the documentation.
This package contains a statically linked version of POV-Ray 3.7
compiled for the i586 platform. The install script can do both
system wide installation (requires root privileges) as well as user
level installation. Installation as root is the recommended method.
======================
Installation procedure
======================
a) Install as root
From the directory where this file resides, run:
$ su
# ./install
and follow the instructions.
b) Install as non-privileged user
From the directory where this file resides, run:
$ ./install
and select 'U' to start a user level install. Afterwards
follow the instructions of the install script.
Additional command line options that can be used are:
--no-arch-check : skip the architecture compatibility test
kde : only install kde panel icons and file types for current
user. In a single user installation this is done
automatically after installation.
user : only update the user povray.ini/povray.conf file when
required.
uninstall : uninstall POV-Ray. This will remove all installed
files. Any changes made to sample scenes or include
files will get lost. This has to be called by the
same user who installed POV-Ray. Uninstall of older
versions of POV-Ray is not supported (and is not
required to install POV-Ray 3.6).
test : run a short test render to check if installation was
successful. This should be run as a normal user and
not as root.
