I try to install the panel entries with :

1 - ./install ou ./install user
then

2 - ./install kde

I obtain this message :

------------------------------------------------------

   checking conf file /home/seb/.povray/3.6/povray.conf
     - file does not need to be modified

You're problem is certainly due to the fact that you are using a 
mandrake modified version of KDE and that's why menus are not in the 
same location :-/

Make sure you run './install kde' as normal user, it is also possibly 
necessary to restart KDE after the installation.  Apart from that it 
might be that gRRosminet is right and your distribution uses a 
nonstandard configuration for the KDE panel - the script has only been 
tested on SuSE and Redhat (and Redhat needed a special location as 
well).  Redhat uses $HOME/.kde/share/applnk-redhat/ instead of 
$HOME/.kde/share/applnk/ - you can see if there is a similar dir on your 
system and then you can fix it with:

ln -s $HOME/.kde/share/applnk/povray-3.6 \
$HOME/.kde/share/applnk-foo/povray-3.6
