Hallo!,

I'd like to install povray on a linux computer (equipped with an old suse
distribution) for which I don't have the root passwd.
I follow the instructions given on povray.org for the binary installation
and use the suggested directory for the installation, i.e.

$HOME/usr/share/povray-3.6/

When I come to run the test: /.install test it says that it's not able to
find the file "scenes/advanced/biscuit.pov".
If I try to run povray on a file it says me:

INI file error.
Bad option syntax or error opening .INI/.DEF file
'//oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo//'.

Does anybody can help me saying what manual steps I have to do for making
povray work under these conditions?

Thank you in advance!
