I am trying to install POV-Ray for Linux x86.

My OS is Ubuntu 12.04 x86_64.

I have done step by step the instructions on POV-Ray download site and just at
root to finish installation I get the message "permission denied".

Is it due to some kind of difference  between x86 and x86_64?

What other reason must it due?

Regards

Which version of povray are you trying to install ?

If it is the 3.6 in Linux Binary format (povlinux-3.6.tgz),
you might need to install the ia32-libs (and ia32-libs-multiarch:i386)

Usual installation on Linux is best done via sources.


And x86 is 32 bits, x86_64 is 64 bits... the instruction set is not the
same, nor are the system libraries (hence the need for ia32-libs)

Dump/copy-paste of command line and replies might have helped.
