Ubuntu oneiric, and to ~/lgeo. I actually have the same problem on
windows 7 too.

Hm, seems like it doesn't use the leocad's povray export at all. I'll
try via l3p too. Thanks for the hint.

I just took the stable available on the distribution repos; 3.6.1.
I'll think about betas etc. once I get even a single render to work.

Yes, I use l3p, as I have used that for many, many years...

The "stable" version of PovRay is more like a "stale" version - it has
been out since 2004 I think :)
The "betas" receive an update about once a year.

I tried a really simple scene with just three 5 long beams with two long pins, but l3p doesn't like it:

./l3p -o leocad/Untitled.ldr

hmmm... Did you install the LDRAW data files?
If so, where?

$ find . -iname 32316.dat
./lego/ldraw/parts/32316.dat

$ echo $LDRAWDIR
/home/hukka/lego/ldraw/

I also tried setting the DIR to ldraw/parts, but that didn't help much. I still get:

$ ./l3p -o leocad/Untitled.ldr
