I'm guessing that he simply forgot to set the path to the lightsys3 directory
in his POV-Ray settings.

One thing to keep in mind with MacPOV and MacMegaPOV (hint: use MacMegaPOV...the
official 3.5 doesn't use all the CPU power in OS X) is that you have to set the
include file paths.  Unlike the Windows version, the Mac OS release does not
set the path for you.  Minor inconvenience, I assure you. :)

One thing to note, unlike with many "common" applications, there is not much of
a benefit to using a PowerPC processor with POV-Ray (my G4-733, for instance, is
only a touch faster than my P3-750 at rendering).  So a 2.0GHz Pentium 4 will
probably beat a G4-1.25 hands down.
