POV-Ray 3.50c is now available as a standard package at the Community
  Software site http://www.blastwave.org/ and the package includes both
  a 32-bit binary and a 64-bit binary for UltraSparc.  You can not run
  this package on your old SparcStation 20.  There is no way to make a
  64-bit binary for the Intel world yet. Full html documentation is included
  but the source tree is not.  I may update the package if people request
  that the src tree be populated.

  Users will need to install the BOLTpget package first.  It is the new
  method for installing packages with dependency checking included.  Users
  of the Debian Linux distro will be familiar with this approach.  The
  process for getting POV-Ray 3.50c for Solaris is :

  Step 1 ) download and install BOLTpget from

           http://www.blastwave.org/BOLTpget.pkg

  Step 2 ) ensure that you have wget in your path,
           if you don't have wget then go get it at

           Step 2.1 ) for UltraSparc Edition of Solaris

                  http://www.blastwave.org/wget-sparc

           Step 2.2 ) for Intel Edition of Solaris

                  http://www.blastwave.org/wget-i386

           Step 2.3 ) change the filename to wget and put it in your path

  Step 3 ) If you did Steps 1 and 2 then use pkg-get to install POV-Ray
           with the tiff, jpeg and png libraries all at the same time.

           pkg-get -i povray


  Step 4 ) Put /opt/csw/bin in your path and then render something, anything!

  People that want an earlier generation Sparc binary may request one from me
  directly.  Please specify the exact processor of the system that you have.
