You might enjoy better experience by compiling it locally, as you seems
to be using linux.

Not a problem, just a warning: you do not have a personal configuration,
so you will be using the system one instead.
(would you have one, the system one would be overloaded with your
setting when used by you).

You can create the missing directories & files if you want:

 $ mkdir -p $HOME/.povray/3.6
 $ touch $HOME/.povray/3.6/povray.conf

You need the 32 bit libraries for X11... in shared version.

 $ type povray
 $ ldd ......./povray
might give you the list of needed libraries.

Nothing wrong, the sphere is red and dark, at the center of the image,
it looks like a disc. (a circle is the boundary of a disc... )
