this is what happened for me. i had povray 3.5 executable as
/usr/local/bin/povray (or maybe it was /usr/bin/povray). upon unstallation
of 3.5 was renamed to something like /usr/local/bin/povray3.5.old and 3.6
executable was /usr/local/bin/povray. I think this might have been what he
meant about how you might want to rename the old 3.5 executable to something
more friendly.
additionally, it created a /usr/local/share/povray-3.6 directory structure
with all the files in it, leaving my existing /usr/local/povray-3.5
directory alone.
it all worked just fine for me. nice and easy
