The official distribution of POV-Ray does not come as a rpm package.  So what
you have is an unofficial version, which is no problem, but in order to help
you it is essential that you provide a bit more information:
Which version of POV-Ray did you install?
Where did you get the rpm package, that is, with which distribution?

BTW, you find the official version at:
<ftp://ftp.povray.org/pub/povray/Official/Linux/>
<ftp://ftp.povray.org/pub/povray/Official/Linux/povlinux.tgz>
If there, make sure you read:
<ftp://ftp.povray.org/pub/povray/Official/Linux/README>

You should take a look at the documentation.  It should be available inside
the directory where povray was installed.
