Task Description
I tried to use 3.7 RC3. This was my first time with 3.7.
I got source, configured and compiled it and installed into Debian with checkinstall. And then I tried to use it. First run was with -benchmark (it took about 9 minutes, ok). Then I tried very simple scene:
rekcahx@oah:~/pov$ povray +Iaa.pov povray: This is a RELEASE CANDIDATE version of POV-Ray. General distribution is discouraged. Failed to parse command-line option
I tried to debug with strace:
rekcahx@oah:~/pov$ strace -o debug.strace povray +Iaa.pov povray: This is a RELEASE CANDIDATE version of POV-Ray. General distribution is discouraged. Persistence of Vision™ Ray Tracer Version 3.7.0.RC3 (g++ 4.6.1 @ x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu) This is a release candidate of POV-Ray version 3.7.0. General distribution is strongly discouraged.
POV-Ray is based on DKBTrace 2.12 by David K. Buck & Aaron A. Collins Copyright 1991-2003 Persistence of Vision Team Copyright 2003-2011 Persistence of Vision Raytracer Pty. Ltd.

[Parsing...]
Parse Warning: This scene did not contain a #version directive. Please be aware that as of POV-Ray 3.7, unless already specified via an INI option, a #version is expected as the first declaration in a scene file. POV-Ray may apply settings to some features that are intended to maintain compatibility with pre-3.7 scenes. You are strongly encouraged to add a #version statement to the scene to make your intent clear. Future versions of POV-Ray may make the presence of a #version statement mandatory.

Every now and then all other command line options than –version, -version, -V, –help, -help -h, -?, –benchmark and –benchmark without leading strace in command line produces “Faild to parse command-line option” error.
