Downloaded & unpacked the original povray-3.7.0.RC6.tar.gz fresh from 
povray.org.

"./compile" is considerably slower than on my x86 Linux machine (maybe 
the SD card is a bottleneck?), but seems to be happy with what it finds. 
I'm not, as I forgot to specify "--prefix=...", so I had to run it again.

"make check" is a slow crawl, which again I blame on the SD card. What 
worries me a bit is that I get repeated assembler warnings like:

{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:2148: Warning: swp{b} use is deprecated for this 
architecture

I wonder what this means; for the time being I suspect this to be a flaw 
in the Raspbian distro, specifically the compiler suite.

Anyway, this is going to take ages, so unless this first build already 
turns out to run like a charm, the next task is probably to hook up some 
external HD via USB and see if that speeds things up. Maybe even a USB 
stick will do.
