It seems he did. But there might be an issue with automake (my version
here is 1.13.3 and all is fine, but I'm on 13.10 not 14.04 yet): see the
thread "Error building POV-Ray 3.7 on Linux (Debian Testing)", the error
was already there too.

Reported solution: running "automake --add-missing" on top directory
after prebuild.sh was ran, and running prebuild.sh again.
