Does povray port work on Mountain Lion?

[Murray Eisenberg]

The only macports version of povray I find is 3.7.

Even with the example you give, executing the command "povray +O/tmp/out shapes.pov" gave:

   dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: __ZN5boost6thread12start_threadEv
      Referenced from: /opt/local/bin/povray
      Expected in: /opt/local/lib/libboost_thread-mt.dylib

   dyld: Symbol not found: __ZN5boost6thread12start_threadEv
     Referenced from: /opt/local/bin/povray
     Expected in: /opt/local/lib/libboost_thread-mt.dylib

   Trace/BPT trap: 5

I uninstalled and cleaned all installed versions of povray and reinstalled. Now it works. Unclear how things had gotten messed up.

Thanks for the example, though.
