If you have specific problems with MegaPOV 0.5, then you can download 
other patches, which are based on newer MegaPOV. One of them is POVMan, 
which is based on MegaPOV 0.7, as additional bonus it includes support 
for shaders and cloth simulation. Latest version could be found on 
Bouf's homepage http://tofbouf.free.fr/clothray/download_en.html. There 
is source code (
Note: it is somewhat complicated, as there is 2 set of files: version 
0.7 and version 0.71.4. You should get both, unpack 0.7 source and then 
copy files from 0.71.4 over 0.7 version.) and you should compile binary 
itself (it should not be too hard, if you know Linux, readme has short 
instruction for it too).
