Paul,

The .povrayrc file in your home directory *is* your povray.ini file.  It 
is the first file that povray looks for to sort out what it's supposed 
to do (for lack of a better way to put it).

To get povray working, simply install as you did, copy the povray.ini 
file included in the installation to your home directory as .povrayrc,


[yoursys@localhost povray35]$ mv povray.ini ~/.povrayrc


and edit the new .povrayrc file to your specifications.

I don't know about setting all the environments as you have been.  I've 
never done it and things have worked well for me.

Here's what my .povrayrc file looks like for RC4:

+FN
+O/home/jgentry/povfiles/
+P
+A0.3
+L/usr/local/lib/povray-3.4.99.4
+L/usr/local/lib/povray-3.4.99.4/include
+L/home/jgentry/povfiles/include
+L/home/jgentry/povfiles

Everything above these lines are stock from the original povray.ini file.

Good luck and good tracing.  I hope you're better at it than I am! :-)
