Thank you for this explanation, but maybe someone could elaborate a bit more on
the last point? I'm having exactly the same problem as the original poster,
namely the error:
X error: BadMatch
X error: BadGC

I tried finding the libraries povray depends on, as explained by the previous
poster:
  frank@werk:~/downloads/povray-3.6$ ldd /usr/local/bin/povray,
but this failed:
  not a dynamically executable file

Does anyone know how to solve this? By the way, I'm running Ubuntu 12.10.
