Hmm...  I primarily use RedHat Fedora, but "dabble" with other distros, 
including Debian 3.1 (Sarge).  I simply downloaded the Linux POVRay 
package directly from povray.org and did a normal install with that. 
Version 3.6.1 installs properly and runs fine.  Although I confess I 
haven't done anything more than a few test renders (from the standard 
"Scene" examples), simply to verify that it does work.

Of course, I can't say anything about Knoppix, but 3.6.1 is okay with 
standard Debian.
