hi,
im using ubuntu dapper (6.06),
installed povray 3.6
and i have no idea how to make it render

i know its a command line only app on unix systems
i've read the "man povray" file, didnt get any of it
i've read the error output, im lost
I'm quite a noob with commandlines :/
so, my question is:
"what command do i need?"

ilia@ilia-desktop:~$ povray -/home/ilia/Desktop/toribash-linux-2.22/raytrace/screenshot-14-10-04-18.pov -test.JPEG

I have not used pov-ray in linux yet myself, so there is no guarantee that this will work.

Also, if you are logged in as ilia, instead of /home/ilia you can use ~

tried it

ilia@ilia-desktop:~$ povray /home/ilia/Desktop/toribash-linux-2.22/raytrace/screenshot-14-10-04-18.pov test.JPEG
Could not find file 'test.JPEG.ini'
Cannot open INI file 'test.JPEG'.
Cannot process command-line due to a parse error.
This is not a valid command-line. Check the command-line for syntax errors, correct them, and try again!
Valid command-line switches are explained in detail in the reference part of the documentation.
To get a short list of command-line switches, use either the '-h', '-?', '-help' or '--help' switch.
Failed to render file due to error(s)!

would it help if i put the output of the '-help' command here?
if so, fetch! :-p

Usage: POVRAY [+/-]Option1 [+/-]Option2 ... (-h or -? for help)

 Example: POVRAY scene.ini +Iscene.pov +Oscene.tga +FT +W320 +H200
 Example: POVRAY +Iscene.pov +Oscene.tga +FT +W160 +H200 +V -D +X

The n or n.n (0.n) notation following a command-line option listed
below denotes an integer or a floating-point number, respectively.
Brackets mean that this number is optional.

The help screen is divided into several parts. To access one part
just enter the number of the screen after the -? option or the
-help option.

E.g. use -?5 or -help5 to see the help screen about the tracing
options.

ps. i cut out the beginning about credits and such

try:

povray /home/ilia/Desktop/toribash-linux-2.22/raytrace/screenshot-14-10-04-18.pov +FN

fixed it.. turns out i need to 'cd' my way into the raytrace folder to render stuff

thanks for your help though
