	Which version of POV-Ray are you using?  If 3.6.x, are you talking about
the background color of the preview display or any black pixel in the rendered
image?

	The "==" is unfortunately specific to bash (bashism) and should not
be used in here.  This problem has been reported recently for the POV-Ray
package in Debian (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=489644).
The workaround is to edit the faulty shell script(s) and replace the double
equal sign by a single one, i.e. "==" becomes "=" (without quotes).
