I use the Unix version on MacOS.  I recently got a new Intel Mac and it 
occurred to me that Povray might run faster if I recompile it, rather 
than running a PPC version under emulation.  But make failed:

$ make
make  all-recursive
Making all in libraries
Making all in png
make[3]: *** No rule to make target `all'.  Stop.
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2
$

Clues?

Which version of povray are you trying to compile ? (3.7RC3 or 3.6.2, or
even older ?)

My classical usage of the recent tar-balls (3.7):
 1. extract the tar
 2. go into the first level directory
 3. ./configure COMPILED_BY="Anton Sherwood <...>"
(I also add --disable-io-restrictions , but that's personal)
 4. make -j 12
 5. sudo make install
(assuming the file ./unix/povray has been created by step 4)

Instead of 5, you can also try "./unix/povray --benchmark" if you have
installed at least once (so that the include files are at the right place)

3.6.1 is what I downloaded.

I used plain "make", but -j 12 did not change the result.

It looks like png is provided in libraries/png for 3.6, and is the 1.2
version of the library.
You might try to compile it by itself first:
 * in libraries/png, execute ./configure
 * then make

Either it works, or you have now a smaller issue to solve for your
system and libpng.

Thanks.  I did that (success); and then the same in libraries/jpeg 
(success); and then the same in libraries/tiff (hideous failure).
