That is odd.  In your original post, it seemed to be giving up on X Windows a
bit later...

I apologize I probably can't help with this.  I gave up on X support for now,
since it really isn't needed (and could be counterproductive) for the system I
compiled the POV-Ray beta to run on.

I hope you can find a way to get it working without too much more trouble.
