Hi,
I'm a newbie to linux, i'm trying to install pov on my collage linux 
account, but there is problem (probably because I dont have root 
permision).

Do I realy must have root permisions, since I just want to run povray, or 
to install it ONLY for my user (i.e. not for every user of the machine)

Simply copy the povray binary which was built to somewhere and the
povray.conf to ~/.povray.conf (and povray.ini to ~/.povrayrc if you
want) and that's it.

(Of course you might also want to copy the contents of the include
directory somewhere and put a proper +L line on ~/.povrayrc as well...)

But, I still have problem, PovRay starts but he complains about acces 
denied to povray.ini and suggesting me to modify povray.conf

can povray.conf be placed in same directory where pov executable is?
Povray.conf and povray.ini has mode 777, and in povray.conf security is 
disabled (as default - so its relaing on filemode settings).

What to change to make it work?

  Did you read my reply?
  Copy povray.conf to ~/.povray.conf

> Povray.conf and povray.ini has mode 777

  Extremely bad idea.
