Linux guru? But by your message header it seems that you use Windows? If 
you are using Windows, then readme file contains overview, what you 
should do. Basically you should copy executables into same directory, 
where POV-Ray (or MegaPOV) executables are and add this directory to 
path environment variable in order to access shading language compiler 
easily.
If you are using Linux then it requires more work. Unfortunately I don't 
have access to Linux machine right now and latest version of POVMan is 
not tested with Linux, so this may require more work before you can 
achieve results. Easiest way would be to create copy of MegaPov source 
in different directory, copy POVMan files (from diff source code 
package) over MegaPOV source files, add additional files in patches 
directory to makefile and make it. POVSLC files will go to separate 
directory and you should modify makefile in order to be able to make it 
with Linux tools (if you really need, then I can dig out old makefile 
for Linux from previous version).
If you need further assistance, then feel free to mail me.
