Hi Jerry!
I had a similar problem when I tried to install Mark's binaries on my
linux. My version is quite old so I guess this might due to the older
libraries I use. I installed his binaries on a new SuSE distribution at
work with no problems. How old is your Debian?
I compiled povray with my old libraries and it just works without any
flaw. Maybe that's an option for you?
All the Best,
Marc
