Hello,

I'm trying to run POV-Ray on a Linux machine where I don't have root 
privileges. This means that I can't place a proper povray.conf file in 
the directory /usr/local/etc/ . Unfortunately, no matter what else I 
specify for povray either on the command line or in the POVINI 
environment variable, it complains that reading the specified file is 
not permitted. Since directory access permissions can be specified in 
configuration files, how am I supposed to tell povray that it is 
permitted to read its config file? Will I have to recompile povray with 
a different default config file location (to which I have write 
permission), or is there some other possibility?

thx
mortee
