This is very unlikely to say the least, if povray is not able to start 
an X-Display (DISPLAY environment variable not set) it will use text 
mode display which does not look pretty but it is more than no display 
at all.  You should make sure it is really the official povray starting 
and not a different version.

If it still does not work please post the complete text output from 
POV-Ray you get.
