of course; i got the official linux binary from povray.org.

i downloaded the first version from the page you mentioned,
and get the same result - using their config file
(copied to both /usr/local/etc/povray.conf and ~/.povray.conf):

( with:
povray.pentium +I/usr/local/share/povray-3.5/scenes/lights/laser.pov 
+O/tmp/ )
----
Creating light buffers....File Init Error: I/O restriction prohibits 
write access to file '/tmp/laser.png'.

i can't even get it working as root!!
what the **** is going on??
