That message is incomplete - it should be:
This machine does not seem to be a Linux PC.
This version of POV-Ray only runs on x86 Linux machines.
You can obtain a version appropriate for your architecture
on http://www.povray.org/
If you want to force an installation you can use
install -no-arch-check
And in fact this says everything you need to know. If your machine is
an x86 PC and you get this message it most likely is an AMD64 - in that
case you can use the binary version but it would be recommended to build
from source since this will result in a much faster version.
