You can also just use Yast. Yast -> Software -> Software Management -> 
Search -> "pov" will bring up povray. Check the box and click "Accept". I'm 
not sure if it installs the 32 or 64 bit version. 
I'm running the 64 bit version of OpenSuse 11.2 on an AMD 64bit (socket F) 
machine and used the above method. From the following, I assume it's the 64 
bit version that installed.

Persistence of Vision(tm) Ray Tracer Version 3.6.1 (g++ @ x86_64-unknown-
linux-g                            
nu)                                                                                   
                     
This is an unofficial version compiled by:                                            
                     
 SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Nuernberg, Germany                                         
                     
 The POV-Ray Team(tm) is not responsible for supporting this version.                 
                     
POV-Ray is based on DKBTrace 2.12 by David K. Buck & Aaron A. Collins
