    LPub woes —William Howard
   Can someone point me at versions of LPub 2, LDView 3 and L3P that work with each other. I've finally got around to installing LPub 2.8.4.0 with LDView 3.0 RC 1 and a very old copy of L3P and can now not render anything with LPub (either via PovRay (...)

        Re: LPub woes —Steven Barile
     I did the total LDraw stack reinstall and couldn't get LPub to even get past launch... Any help would be appricaiated as well. The LPub error message is: "No renderers found. Either install POV-Ray, or use LPub to find LDGLite." I click [OK] button (...) (19 years ago, 15-Dec-05, to lugnet.cad)
   
        Re: LPub woes —Travis Cobbs
     (...) I don't think it will solve your problem, but the just-released official LDView 3.0 should have some LPub-related fixes vs. the LDView 3.0 RC 1 release. --Travis Cobbs (19 years ago, 15-Dec-05, to lugnet.cad)
    
         RE: LPub woes —William Howard
      Hi Travis, Unfortunately you're right in that it doesn't fix the LPub problems. One minor point, you may want to update the m6459.ldr file as some of the parts have been ~moved (and LPub can't cope with those as it looks in parts.lst for its (...) (19 years ago, 15-Dec-05, to lugnet.cad)
    
         Re: LPub woes —Travis Cobbs
     (...) Thanks for the heads-up. I'll correct that in the next LDView release. I haven't edited the model in so long that I never noticed that some of the parts had moved. I suppose I should also add moved-to detection to LDView, and have LDView show (...) (19 years ago, 15-Dec-05, to lugnet.cad)
   
        Re: LPub woes - more info —William Howard
   Uninstalled LDView and LPub2 (neither of which actually do a complete un-install as they leave registry keys, sub-directories, start menu items, etc lying around) Removed all traces of them. Install LDView 3.0 (13th Dec 2005 build) Set LDraw (...) (19 years ago, 15-Dec-05, to lugnet.cad)
   
        Re: LPub woes - more info —Kevin L. Clague
     (...) What is m6459.ldr? Just a model file, or something special? Do you have file paths with blanks in them? If so, this is a problem. Not all the tools that LPub uses supports this. Kev (19 years ago, 15-Dec-05, to lugnet.cad)
