Do you use ICQ or something? Perhaps it will be easier to communicate directly 
- I will be working on kpm for the next few hours. My ICQ# is 150715551 - 
just in case...

Sorry for being not clear - you need just any machine where you can log into 
with ssh and have povray installed, e.g. your local machine. For the SSH 
transport you will not need NetSolve at all.

Great :-)


And another question: Do I need any special tools for building the 
documentation? Running make in kdegraphics/doc/kpovmodeler gives the 
following error:
/usr/bin/meinproc --check --cache index.cache.bz2 ./index.docbook
index.docbook:8: error: failed to load external entity "dtd/kdex.dtd"
]>
  ^
and so on... although:
$ locate dtd/kdex.dtd
/usr/share/apps/ksgmltools2/customization/dtd/kdex.dtd

Any ideas what could be wrong?
