A-ha! Somehow I suspected something like that.

The thing you're running isn't the newest GitHub master at all, but one 
of the old RCs.

For more information, try:

     povray --version

(that'll output the information I was really after, but "RELEASE 
CANDIDATE" is clear enough)

and

     which povray

(that'll tell you where the povray you're actually running resides on 
your computer)

If the povray binary you want to run is present in the current 
directory, remember that on Unix the current directory is not in the 
search path, so you'll have to invoke it like this:

     ./povray foo.pov

Otherwise, make sure the binary resides in a directory that is listed in 
the $PATH environment variable before the one the release candidate 
resides in (or, as an obvious alternative, make sure to uninstall the 
release candidate).

Maybe you simply forgot to invoke "sudo make install"?
