Description octoploid 2008-11-07 18:47:43 UTC

media-gfx/povray-3.7.0_beta29 does not run on any machine.
This is what happens:

Please mask asap.

Reproducible: Always

Please see the ewarn messages at the end of the gentoo install (or check the post install func in the ebuild) - you need to extend the license (not sure why they made it expire so soon).

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't notice the message. Sorry for the noise.

No problem - their error was misleading, I think.  I just patched it to give the extension info in the error message - checked in as -r1.
