[Chimera-users] POV Ray export

[Greg Couch]

Chimera's POV-Ray output is designed for the POV-Ray 3.6.1 that is 
bundled with Chimera.  If you get it to work with POV-Ray 3.7, please 
share with the mailing list what you had to "fix".

The POV-Ray 3.6 distribution includes transforms.inc in 
CHIMERA/share/povray-3.6/include, where CHIMERA is where Chimera is 
installed.  POV-Ray 3.7 also has an include directory, so if you're 
using /usr/local/bin/povray, that would be /usr/local/share/povray-3.7.  
On Ubuntu, the POV-Ray includes are in a separate package, but are 
automatically installed when POV-Ray is installed.  So the includes 
might be in a separate package.  Once they are installed, I would expect 
POV-Ray to automatically find them.  The include directory should be 
already configured in /usr/local/etc/povray/3.7/povray.conf and povray.ini.

     HTH,

     Greg
